Justice Department Investigating Fulton County Jail After Death of Pretrial Detainee and Possible Waiver of Arraignment Appearance by Former President Trump

The Justice Department is investigating the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia, which recently gained media attention for the booking and release of former President Donald Trump and 18 other co-defendants in the Georgia election interference case. A pretrial detainee at the jail died four days after filing a complaint accusing deputies of excessive force, and Trump is considering waiving his arraignment appearance and entering a not guilty plea in writing. The investigation into the jail is ongoing, raising questions about the conditions of the facility.
