The primary of the 19 co-defendants within the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump surrendered for booking on the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta on Tuesday.
Scott Hall, a Georgia bail bondsman charged with seven criminal counts, was booked and as of 9:20 a.m. ET had yet to be released, in accordance with the jail’s website.
All of the co-defendants within the case must give up on the jail by Friday. Trump, who faces 13 criminal counts, said on social media late Monday that he would give up Thursday.
Trump’s announcement got here hours after a judge in Fulton County set his bond at $200,000 and barred him from quite a few types of potential witness intimidation.
Hall’s bond was set at $10,000.
The 41-count indictment was brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who alleges that Trump and his co-defendants illegally conspired to overturn President Joe Biden’s victory within the 2020 presidential election by interfering in Georgia’s results.
Hall is charged with violating Georgia’s racketeering law, conspiracy to commit election fraud, conspiracy to commit a felony and conspiracy to defraud the state.
Willis’ indictment accuses Hall of attempting to illegally break into election machines in Coffee County, Georgia, on Jan. 7, 2021, the day after the attack on the Capitol in Washington.
Hall and several other other co-defendants, including pro-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, willfully tampered with electronic ballot markers and Dominion tabulating machines with the intention of taking data, the indictment alleges. Their efforts put official ballots into the hands of unauthorized people outside the county, in accordance with the indictment.
