Former President Donald Trump has only one week to turn himself in and end up in Fulton, Georgia, where must step down after being accused of allegedly manipulating the election results in this state.
Unlike the previous three trials, during which the charges against Trump were read in three courts (in New York, Miami and Washington, D.C.), this time the ex-president and the remaining 18 defendants will have to undergo this procedure in a pre-trial detention center Fulton County.

There, who was president from 2017 to 2021, the charges will be read to them and, as expected, they will be fingerprinted and photographed.
Trump gave no indication of when it would be presented, and in the last few hours announced the cancellation of a press conference due to take place on August 14, where he was going to present a “large, complex, detailed, but compelling account of the” fraud presidential elections that took place in Georgia”.
