FORMER president Donald Trump surrendered on Thursday on charges that he illegally schemed to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia.He was released on a 200,000 dollar bond and headed back to the airport for his return flight home to New Jersey.
Trump’s surrender to law enforcement authorities has become by now a familiar election-season routine in a way that belies the unprecedented spectacle of a former president being booked, in four different cities, on felony criminal charges.
Wearing his signature white shirt and red tie, he offered a wave and thumbs up as he descended the steps of his private plane. Since then, he has faced federal charges in Florida and Washington, and this month he was indicted in Atlanta with 18 others — including his ex-chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani — under a racketeering statute normally associated with gang members and organised crime.
He has turned the appearances into campaign events amid a far lighter schedule than his rivals, with wall-to-wall media coverage that has included news helicopters tracking his every move. District attorney Fani Willis had given all of the defendants until Friday afternoon to turn themselves in at the main Fulton County jail.READ MORE:Prominent Atlanta criminal defence attorney Steve Sadow took the place of another high-profile attorney, Drew Findling, who had represented Trump as recently as Monday when his bond terms were negotiated.
