Former US President Donald Trump has confirmed he plans to appear in a Fulton County jail in Georgia this Thursday after he was accused of orchestrating a plot to undermine the state’s 2020 election results. Trump made the announcement through his channel on his own social network, Truth Social, days after US media reported it based on information from sources familiar with the plan. “Can you believe it? I will be traveling to Atlanta, Georgia this Thursday to be arrested by a far-left prosecutor, Fani Willis,” said the former president, who believes the judge is “campaigning and raising money.” for this witch hunt. Trump has stated that, in his opinion, this case “is being conducted in strict coordination with the corrupt Joe Biden’s Department of Justice”, i.e. it is “electoral interference”. The ex-president’s testimony comes hours after his legal team agreed to terms that will allow him to remain free once he turns himself in in Georgia, which will likely include posting $200,000 bail. In addition to financial bail, the provisional freedom for Trump means that he cannot intimidate any of the other 18 accused or possible witnesses, which according to The Hill portal could also limit his freedom of action on social networks. Trump’s election attorney John Eastman also plans to turn himself in to the authorities, albeit a day before the ex-president this Wednesday, as reported by CNN television, which had reached an agreement on $100,000. Other co-defendants are expected to be arrested this week and later released on pre-negotiated bail terms. Trump’s safe media capitulation in Georgia comes the same week as the first Republican debate on the 2024 presidential election. However, the tycoon has already announced that he has no intention of attending, although he might change his mind, and instead it will go to the show by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, whose interviews have garnered up to 100 million views. Trump not only has to deal with the allegation of attempted manipulation of the results of the last presidential election, but with almost a hundred charges spread over a total of four cases. In the case of Georgia, he is being branded as the leader of a “criminal organization” in order to be able to annul his 2020 election defeat.
