Former President Donald Trump has agreed to a $200,000 bond in a Georgia criminal case that charges him with attempting to illegally overturn the 2020 presidential election results in the state. The bond was filed in court on Monday afternoon, and was signed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Trump’s attorneys.
The bond agreement includes a list of requirements that Trump must abide by in order to remain out of jail while awaiting trial. These include a prohibition on intimidating any of the 18 co-defendants, any witnesses, victims, or “the community or to any property in the community.”
John Eastman, the attorney who advocated for various extralegal schemes for Trump to stay in power after losing the 2020 election, also agreed to a $100,000 bond on Monday.
The criminal case against Trump is the first of its kind against a former president, and is being closely watched by legal experts. The case includes charges of racketeering, criminal conspiracy, criminal solicitation, filing false documents and making false statements.
The bond agreement is seen as a victory for the prosecution, as it ensures that Trump will not be able to interfere with the case or intimidate any of the witnesses or co-defendants. It is also a reminder that no one is above the law, and that even a former president must abide by the legal system.
