Former U.S. President Trump has agreed to turn himself in to authorities at Atlanta, Georgia’s Fulton County Jail on Thursday to face 13 felony charges related to his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Trump’s legal team says it has agreed with the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office to set bail at $200,000. Trump is expected to enter a not guilty plea, one day after he’s scheduled to skip the first debate of Republican Party presidential candidates, televised by Fox News.
Republican state lawmakers in Georgia have invoked a new state law signed by Governor Brian Kemp that could allow them to sanction or even to remove Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from office as she pursues the case against Trump and his 18 co-defendants.
