Former President Donald Trump Arrested on 13 Felony Counts Related to Alleged Scheme to Overturn 2020 Election Results

Former President Donald Trump was arrested on Thursday in Fulton County, Georgia, on 13 felony counts related to an alleged scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Trump surrendered to authorities at the Fulton County jail, where he was booked and had his mug shot taken.

This marks the fourth time this year that Trump has been arrested after criminal charges were brought against him by federal and state officials. The charges stem from an investigation by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis into a “criminal enterprise” meant to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.

Trump had been in Atlanta for a few hours prior to his arrest, during which time his Save America PAC sent a statement to the media. He also used the hours before his arrest to insult Willis and announce what time he would be going in.

The booking process at the Fulton County jail is routine, and includes fingerprinting and a biometric eye scan. Trump is the latest of 18 co-defendants indicted by Willis’ office earlier this month.

It remains to be seen what the outcome of the charges against Trump will be. The former president has denied any wrongdoing and has vowed to fight the charges.
