A question about prison

Yes, this is a Trump question.

Let’s assume Donald Trump is a criminal. Since everyone here believes he is that’s not far-fetched.

Let’s also assume they aren’t going to just say “he’s old, white and an ex-president so we can’t put him away.”

He is currently in the midst of investigations in Georgia for election violations, in New York for tax violations and federally for stealing classified information. If he is found guilty in all three jurisdictions and sentenced to prison, how do they deal with his incarceration? Will he have to do time in a federal pen, a New York prison and a Georgia prison, or will the two states that want him to make license plates for them just mark his record “time served at a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility”?

is that whoever strikes first gets him. If Fulton County tries him first and if they get a guilty verdict, he does time in Fulton County.
