Former President Donald Trump has been ordered to post a $200,000 bond in connection to the charges brought against him by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. According to a consent bond order filed on Monday with the Fulton County Superior Court and signed by Judge Scott McAfee, the bond is to be paid in specific amounts for each of the 13 counts he faces, including $80,000 for the first charge of violating Georgia’s racketeering law, and $10,000 for each of the remaining 12 charges. Trump can post the bond as “cash, through commercial surety, or through the Fulton County Jail 10% program.”
Trump confirmed earlier reports of his surrender date with a post on his Truth Social page on Monday evening. He said he will turn himself in on Thursday at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta. In his post, he wrote, “In my case, the trip to Atlanta is not for ‘Murder,’ but for making a PERFECT PHONE CALL! I’ll be going to Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday to be ARRESTED by a Radical Left District Attorney, Fani Willis, who is overseeing one of the greatest Murder and Violent Crime DISASTERS in American History.”
The charges against Trump stem from his alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. The former president has denied any wrongdoing and has called the charges a “witch hunt.”
The former president is scheduled to turn himself in on Thursday at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta. It is unclear what will happen next, but the case is expected to be closely watched by the public.
