Former US President Donald Trump has confirmed he plans to turn himself in this Thursday at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia after he was accused of masterminding a scheme to undermine the 2020 election results in that state.
Trump made the announcement via his channel on his own social network Truth Social days after the US media reported on it according to information from sources familiar with the plan.
“Can you believe it? I’m going to Atlanta, Georgia this Thursday to be arrested by a prosecutor who is a radical left, Fanny Willis,” said the former president, who believes the magistrate is “campaigning and raising money for this witch hunts.”
So, Trump said that, in his opinion, this case “is being conducted in strict accordance with the corrupt Joe Biden’s Department of Justice”, for which “we are talking about interference in the elections.”
The ex-president’s statements came hours after his legal team agreed to terms that would allow him to remain at large after he surrenders in Georgia, which will likely include a $200,000 bail.
In addition to the financial bail, the temporary freedom will mean Trump will not be able to intimidate any of the other 18 defendants or potential witnesses, which could also limit his social media wiggle room, reports The Hill.
Trump’s election lawyer, John Eastman, also plans to turn himself in to authorities, but that will happen a day ahead of the former president this Wednesday, according to CNN, indicating he has reached a $100,000 settlement. . Other co-defendants are expected to be arrested this week and then released on pre-agreed bail.
Trump’s clear capitulation to media in Georgia comes the same week as the first Republican debate in the 2024 presidential race. However, the tycoon has already announced he doesn’t intend to attend, though he may change his mind, and will go to former Fox News host Tucker instead Carlson, whose interviews have received up to 100 million views.
Trump will face not only allegations of trying to manipulate the results of the last presidential election, but almost a hundred charges scattered across four cases. In the case of Georgia, he is appointed head of a “criminal organization” to annul his defeat in the 2020 elections (Europa Press).
