Trump to be arrested and booked in Georgia RICO case
The former U.S. president will receive a $200,000 bond, as well as several other conditions approved by prosecutors and Trump's attorneys
Former U.S. President Donald Trump said he will travel to the state of Georgia to turn himself in on Thursday, as part of a criminal case stemming from his alleged attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
“Can you believe it? I’ll be going to Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday to be ARRESTED by a Radical Left District Attorney, Fani Willis," the former U.S. president wrote Monday on his Truth Social platform.
Trump went on to accuse the Georgia official of a “witch hunt” that was being coordinated by the Biden administration, alleging it was an attempt at "election interference".

The 19 co-defendants in the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) case were given until noon local time on Friday to turn themselves in to the authorities in Georgia in order to be booked. Furthermore, the judge approved a $200,000 bond for the former president, as well as several other conditions. The Fulton County district attorney asked for the trial date to be set on March 4 next year.
Former Trump campaign attorneys, John Eastman and Kenneth Chesebro, were also given bonds at $100,000 each.
"The Defendant shall perform no act to intimidate any person known to him or her to be a codefendant or witness in this case or to otherwise obstruct the administration of justice," Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee wrote in an agreement approved by prosecutors and Trump's attorneys.
"The above shall include, but are not limited to, posts on social media or reposts of posts made by another individual on social media," the judge added.
