Former President Trump to Surrender in Atlanta on Indictment Charges
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,August 22 2023]
Former President Donald Trump has declared his intention to turn himself in at Atlanta on August 24 via his Truth Social platform. This announcement is in connection with his indictment in Georgia, where he and 18 co-defendants are facing 41 criminal charges tied to their alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state.
The surrender date was reportedly agreed upon between Trump's legal team and the Fulton County district attorney's office. Initially reported by CNN, Trump plans to surrender at the Fulton County jail on August 24.
This decision follows the unveiling of a 98-page indictment last week, labeling the charges against Trump as politically motivated and designed to undermine his reelection campaign.
Upon his surrender, a âhard lockdown of the vicinity around the Rice Street Jail will be implemented, according to the local sheriff's office. The bond agreement, signed between Trump's attorneys and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, sets a $200,000 bond for the former president. It also includes a provision that he refrains from sending any threatening messages on social media during the trial proceedings, as reported by Reuters.
As the legal process unfolds, the eyes of the nation will undoubtedly be on this pivotal moment. Trump's decision to voluntarily turn himself in marks a significant chapter in the ongoing legal proceedings and political discourse surrounding his actions after the 2020 election.
