Trump’s bond in Fulton County 2020 elections subversion case set at $200K.
Former President Donald Trump’s Legal Team Arrives in Fulton County
Former President Donald Trump’s legal team and other attorneys for co-defendants accused of attempting to subvert the 2020 election arrived in Fulton County, Georgia, on Monday to iron out the terms of their bond and release conditions.
Bond Agreement Reached with Trump
District Attorney Fani Willis reached a bond agreement with Trump just after 3:30 p.m. EDT, setting his bond at $200,000. Under the terms of the consent bond order, Trump cannot perform any acts of witness intimidation or communicate directly or indirectly about the facts of the case with any co-defendants except through his attorneys.
Bond Agreement for Co-Defendants
A bond agreement was also met with two of Trump’s co-defendants on Monday, including attorney John Eastman. His $100,000 bond order was the first to appear on the Fulton County court website. As part of the order, he must report to pretrial supervision every 30 days, and may do so by phone. He is also barred from communicating with the 18 other co-defendants in the case.
Co-defendant Scott Hall, a bail bondsman, had his bond set at $10,000. He is facing seven charges related to an alleged connection with a local elections office breach in Coffee County, Georgia.
Challenges and Indictments
Eastman, who allegedly helped form the strategy that led Trump to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence to throw out electors on Jan. 6, 2021, faces nine counts. Eastman’s attorneys vowed last week to challenge the charges he is facing and said, “Lawyers everywhere should be sleepless over this latest stunt to criminalize their advocacy.”
All of the 19 defendants in the case who were indicted last week, including Trump, are expected to surrender themselves this week ahead of a Friday deadline imposed by Willis. Trump and the others were named in a 41-count racketeering indictment that ties back to alleged efforts to overturn the election results in the state’s 2020 race.
Eastman is also referenced, though not explicitly named, as an unindicted co-conspirator in special counsel Jack Smith’s federal election subversion case against Trump.
