Former President Donald Trump is preparing to turn himself in this week after working out a $200,000 bond.
The disgraced politician is facing charges for trying to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results, claiming that he was the rightful winner. In actuality, it was current President Joe Biden. His strong rejection of the presidency led to the deadly Capital riots. Now, the 77-year-old is ready to face his punishment.
According to the New York Post, he has worked out an agreement with his legal team and District Attorney Fani Willis. Per the deal, Trump will report to Fulton County Jail on Thursday. There, he will take his mugshot and must post an $80,000 bond for his RICO charge plus an additional $10,000 for each of the remaining 12 counts outlined in his federal indictment, the outlet reports. He is facing up to 641 years behind bars. The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office confirmed it is preparing for a significant security presence, with a “hard lockdown” in the area nearby the jail.
Ironically, despite such an extensive indictment, Trump is still planning to run his White House return. He is still planning to run in 2024. Per the bond terms, Trump must not intimidate witnesses or co-defendants either in person or online. Eighteen of Trump’s co-defendants must also turn themselves in by the end of the week. This includes attorneys John Eastman, Ray Smith, and Kenneth Chesebro, who each had a bond set at $100,000. They’ve all received bonds as well.
