Trump says he'll surrender Thursday on Georgia charges related to efforts to overturn 2020 election

CARD AND WELCOME BACK. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS BEEN HANDED ANOTHER INDICTMENT, THIS TIME ON THE STATE CHARGES IN GEORGIA, ACCUSING HIM AND 18 OTHERS OF TRYING TO OVERTURN THE 2020 ELECTION RESULTS IN THAT STATE. SO JOHN GRAVY FROM THE UNH AND FRANKLIN PIERCE LAW SCHOOL JOINS US NOW TO ANSWER SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE HERE. AND RIGHT AWAY, HOW SERIOUS ARE THE CHARGES HERE? ONE OF THE 13 DEALS WITH THAT RICO LAW FOR RACKETEERING, AND THAT COULD CARRY UP TO 20 YEARS IN PRISON. IS JAIL TIME A SERIOUS POSSIBILITY HERE? YES. MEAN IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S NOT REQUIRED. BUT IF THE JUDGE DOES GIVE A CRIMINAL, YOU KNOW, A SENSE OF INCARCERATION, THE JUDGE HAS TO IMPOSE A SENSE OF AT LEAST FIVE YEARS. AND RICO IS A SERIOUS CHARGE. SO WE COULD BE LOOKING AT JAIL TIME FOR A FORMER PRESIDENT. YES. NOW, THE GEORGIA PROSECUTOR TALKED ABOUT WANTING A TRIAL WITHIN SIX MONTHS. IS THAT REALISTIC, GIVING THE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE INDICTED HERE AND IF NOT REALISTIC, HOW SOON DO YOU THINK THEY COULD GET GOING? WELL, YOU KNOW, A LOT WILL DEPEND ON HOW MANY OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CHARGED IN THIS INDICTMENT DECIDE TO COOPERATE AND PLEAD GUILTY. RIGHT NOW, IF NOBODY DOES THIS WOULD BE AN ABSOLUTELY SPRAWLING CASE. AND HAVE A VERY HARD TIME SEEING HOW THAT WOULD BE FINISHED, CERTAINLY, OR EVEN WITHIN SIX MONTHS. ARE REALLY READY TO GO WITHIN SIX MONTHS. HOWEVER, IF PEOPLE START PLEADING OUT AS THAT HAPPENS, THE CASE COULD SIMPLIFY. SO FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP CALLING ALL OF THIS ELECTION INTERFERENCE AND THE BALANCE OF ACTUAL POTENTIAL CRIMES ON ONE HAND, AND THEN THE POLITICAL POSTURING ON THE OTHER SIDE. DO YOU SEE THE SCALES TIPPED IN ONE DIRECTION OR THE OTHER? WELL, I MEAN, I THINK OBVIOUSLY BOTH ARE AT PLAY, BUT I THINK, YOU KNOW, I THINK STILL WE COME BACK TO THE DC INDICTMENT. YOU KNOW, WHICH ALLEGES THAT THE CONDUCT ON JANUARY 6TH EFFECTIVELY INVOLVED INSURRECTION AGAINST THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. I MEAN, TO ME, THAT IS ULTIMATELY GOING TO BE THE FOCAL POINT OF OF EVERYTHING WITH RESPECT TO DONALD TRUMP AND HIS LEGACY AND THE FORMER PRESIDENT CALLING ALL OF THIS UN-AMERICAN AND WRONG. DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT STATEMENT? I ALWAYS TELL MY STUDENTS IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S I MEAN, IF THE ALLEGATIONS ARE TRUE, THESE ARE VERY, VERY SERIOUS CRIMES. AND THEY UNDERMINE THE INTEGRITY OF OUR DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM. SO, YOU KNOW, IS THAT IS IT UN-AMERICAN TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT, BUT DIFFERENT PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT SENSES OF WHAT HAPPENED. AND AND, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE GET THEIR INFORMATION FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES. AND IT TAKES THEM TO DIFFERENT CONCLUSIONS. BEFORE WE LET ME GO, I바카라 게임 웹사이트�LL LET YOU GO. FOUR DIFFERENT INDICTMENTS HERE. ACTUALLY, WE HAVE SOME MORE TIME. I THOUGHT WE WERE WRAPPING UP. LET ME LET ME GO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. I바카라 게임 웹사이트�LL CIRCLE BACK. SO THE VISION OF FORMER OF A FORMER AMERICAN PRESIDENT IN PRISON CLOSED. WHAT A SPECTACLE, RIGHT. DO YOU THINK THAT JUDGES WOULD AVOID THAT POTENTIALLY BY GIVING HIM PROBATION OR HOME CONFINEMENT? I MEAN, THERE바카라 게임 웹사이트�S POTENTIALLY. YES. MEAN YOU KNOW, PRISON SHOULD REALLY BE RESERVED FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE DANGEROUS. YOU KNOW, AND THE QUESTION IS HOW DANGEROUS WOULD HE BE IF HE WERE LEFT OUT OF PRISON? THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S NOT THE ONLY CALCULATION, BUT THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S REALLY, YOU KNOW, A CENTRAL FOCUS. I DO THINK LIKE RIGHT NOW, WHAT HE바카라 게임 웹사이트�S BEEN DOING ON SOCIAL MEDIA WOULD GET ANY OTHER DEFENDANT IN A LOT MORE TROUBLE AND BRING THEM RIGHT UP TO THE POINT OF ACTUALLY BEING INCARCERATED PRIOR TO TRIAL. BUT I DO EXPECT THAT JUDGES REALLY DON바카라 게임 웹사이트�T WANT TO DO THAT. FOUR DIFFERENT INDICTMENTS. HOW LONG COULD WE SEE ALL OF THIS GOING ON? WELL, THESE CASES ARE COMPLEX AS WELL. MEAN THIS CERTAINLY HE, THE FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP, WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS GO BEYOND THE NEXT ELECTION. I WOULD EXPECT THAT THESE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, UNLESS THERE바카라 게임 웹사이트�S PLEAS OF GUILTY WHICH RESOLVED THEM, I WOULD EXPECT THAT THEY WOULD CERTAINLY GO BEYOND NEXT YEAR. AND QUICKLY, WITH THE FOUR INDICTMENTS, HOW DO YOU RANK THEM? IS THIS ONE AS SERIOUS AS THE OTHERS? THIS ONE ESPECIALLY COUNT ONE OF THIS ONE, THE RICO COUNT, BECAUSE IT ALSO IT ACTUALLY TAKES YOU INTO OTHER STATES AS WELL, BECAUSE SOME OF THE ALLEGATIONS INVOLVE CONDUCT DONE IN OTHER STATES. AND THEN YOU SAID THE JANUARY 6TH ONE, RIGHT, WITH HIM. YEAH, THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S A THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S A REALLY

Former President Donald Trump says he will surrender to authorities in Georgia on Thursday to face charges in the case accusing him of illegally scheming to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Can you believe it? I바카라 게임 웹사이트�ll be going to Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday to be ARRESTED,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Trump wrote on his social media network Monday night, hours after court papers said his bond was set at $200,000.It will be Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트�s fourth arrest since April, when he became the first former president in U.S. history to face indictment. Since then, Trump, who remains the leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, has had what has seemed like an endless procession of bookings and arraignments in jurisdictions across the country. His appearances in New York, Florida and Washington, D.C., have drawn enormous media attention, with news helicopters tracking his every move.Trump's announcement came hours after his attorneys met with prosecutors in Atlanta to discuss the details of his release on bond. The former president is barred from intimidating co-defendants, witnesses or victims in the case 바카라 게임 웹사이트� including on social media 바카라 게임 웹사이트� according to the bond agreement signed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트�s defense attorneys and the judge. It explicitly includes 바카라 게임 웹사이트�posts on social media or reposts of posts바카라 게임 웹사이트� made by others.Trump has repeatedly used social media to attack people involved in the criminal cases against him as he campaigns to reclaim the White House in 2024. He has been railing against Willis since before he was indicted, and singled out Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp 바카라 게임 웹사이트� a Republican who rebuffed his efforts to overturn the election 바카라 게임 웹사이트� by name in a social media post Monday morning. The agreement also prohibits the former president from making any 바카라 게임 웹사이트�direct or indirect threat of any nature바카라 게임 웹사이트� against witnesses or co-defendants, and from communicating in any way about the facts of the case with them, except through attorneys.The order sets Trump's bond for the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations 바카라 게임 웹사이트� or RICO 바카라 게임 웹사이트� charge at $80,000 and adds $10,000 for each of the 12 other counts he is facing. Bond is the amount defendants must pay as a form of collateral to ensure they show up for required court appearances.Willis has set a deadline of noon Friday for Trump and his 18 co-defendants to turn themselves in to be booked. The prosecutor has proposed that arraignments for the defendants follow during the week of Sept. 5. She has said she wants to try the defendants collectively, and bring the case to trial in March of next year, which would put it in the heat of the presidential nominating season.A Trump spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the filing. A phone message seeking comment was also left for an attorney for the former president.Trump's appearance in Georgia will come a day after the first Republican primary debate, which he has decided to skip.He is expected to turn himself in at the Fulton County jail, which has long been plagued with problems. The Department of Justice last month opened a civil rights investigation into conditions, citing filthy cells, violence and the death last year of a man whose body was found covered in insects in the main jail바카라 게임 웹사이트�s psychiatric wing. Three people have died in Fulton County custody in the past month.The Fulton County Sheriff바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Office said in a news release Monday afternoon that when Trump surrenders there will be a 바카라 게임 웹사이트�hard lockdown바카라 게임 웹사이트� of the area surrounding the jail.But Trump is not expected to spend much time there.When defendants arrive at the building, they typically pass through a security checkpoint before checking in for formal booking in the lobby. During the booking process, defendants are typically photographed and fingerprinted and asked to provide certain personal information. Since Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트�s bond has already been set, he will be released from custody once the booking process is complete.Unlike in other jurisdictions, in Fulton County, arraignments 바카라 게임 웹사이트� where a defendant first appears in court 바카라 게임 웹사이트� are generally set after a defendant completes the booking process and do not happen on the same day.Booking a former president, who still has 24-hour Secret Service protection, has created myriad security and logistical issues in other jurisdictions.In his past appearances in a New York state court and federal courts in Miami and Washington, Trump was not handcuffed while in custody. He was also not required to pose for a mugshot, with officials instead using existing photographs of the former president.Georgia officials have said Trump will be treated like others charged with crimes in their state.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Unless somebody tells me differently, we are following our normal practices, and so it doesn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t matter your status, we바카라 게임 웹사이트�ll have a mugshot ready for you,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat said at a news conference earlier this month. Trump was charged last week in the case alongside a slew of allies, who prosecutors say conspired to subvert the will of voters in a desperate bid to keep the Republican in the White House after he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.Trump has denied any wrongdoing, and he characterizes the case 바카라 게임 웹사이트� and three others he is facing 바카라 게임 웹사이트� as efforts to hurt his 2024 presidential campaign. He has regularly used his Truth Social platform to single out prosecutors and others involved in his cases, and to continue to spread falsehoods that the 2020 election was stolen from him.In a post on Monday, Trump called the Fulton County district attorney 바카라 게임 웹사이트�crooked, incompetent, & highly partisan.바카라 게임 웹사이트� He also attacked Kemp, whom he has long targeted for the governor's refusal to intervene after the 2020 election. Kemp has been outspoken in pushing back against Trump, writing in social media last week: 바카라 게임 웹사이트�The 2020 election in Georgia was not stolen."Bond was also set Monday for three lawyers who were indicted along with Trump. For each of them, the bond for the RICO charge was set at $20,000, with varying amounts for the other charges they face. John Eastman and Kenneth Chesebro each had a bond set at $100,000, while Ray Smith바카라 게임 웹사이트�s bond is $50,000. Bail bondsman Scott Hall, who was accused of participating in a breach of election equipment in rural Coffee County, had his bond set at $10,000.Other defendants include former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows; Trump attorney and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and a Trump administration Justice Department official, Jeffrey Clark, who aided the then-president바카라 게임 웹사이트�s efforts to undo his election loss in Georgia.The Georgia indictment comes just two weeks after the Justice Department special counsel charged Trump in a separate case in a vast conspiracy to overturn the election.
