Ex-US President Trump Surrenders In Prison

Eko Hot Blog reports that former United States (US) President Donald Trump has surrendered at the Fulton County prison in Atlanta, Georgia, to be booked on more than a dozen criminal charges.

The charges stem from his efforts to reverse Georgia’s 2020 presidential election results.

Trump agreed earlier this week to a $200,000 bond and other release conditions, including not using social media to target the co-defendants and witnesses in the case.

His surrender in Georgia marks the fourth time this year the former president has turned himself in to local or federal officials after criminal charges were brought against him – episodes that had never been seen in the US before 2023.

In April, the former president was booked in New York on state charges related to a hush money scheme.

In June, he surrendered at a Miami federal courthouse to face charges in special counsel Jack Smith’s probe into the mishandling of classified documents.

And earlier this month, Trump was placed under arrest in Washington, DC, and arraigned on charges brought by Smith in his investigation into attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

All of those cases could come to a head next year at the same time that Trump is running for president.
