Donald Trump released on $200,000 bail in Georgia

The former president of USA donald trump (2017-2021) was released this Thursday from the Atlanta jail, in Georgiaa few minutes after entering and after agreeing to pay the $ 200,000 that his lawyers agreed with the prosecution.

The prison authorities took the fingerprints and a police photograph of the Republican, accused of 13 crimes for having tried to reverse the result of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.

About twenty minutes after his entry, Trump left the prison of the fulton county in a convoy of armored vehicles escorted by the Secret Servicewhich is in charge of the security of the former president.

The former president had traveled in the afternoon from New Jersey to the capital of Georgia to comply with the mandate of Justice, which gave him until Friday to turn himself in voluntarily.

This is Trump’s fourth criminal indictment, but the first in which he has been cited in jail and had a mugshot taken of him. In the previous three, he had appeared in different courts for the reading of charges.

The Fulton District Attorney fanny willis accuses the Republican of 13 counts for having led a plot with 18 allies to reverse the electoral results in Georgia, where Trump lost by a narrow margin against the current president, the Democrat Joe Biden.

The principal offense charged against him in the state of Georgia is violating the criminal association law (RICHin English), traditionally used against the mafia.

He is also accused of having conspired to have certain people falsely present themselves as electoral delegates to certify Trump’s victory in Georgia, knowing that he actually lost.

If found guilty on all counts, the former Republican president could be sentenced to up to 76.5 years in prison.

One of the main pieces of evidence against him is the recording of a January 2021 call in which he asked the Georgia Secretary of State, brad raffenspergerthat you “will find” 11,780 votes, one more than Biden had achieved.

Trump considers all cases against him a “Witch hunt”, and still today he continues to maintain the hoax that he won the 2020 elections.

“No one has fought as hard for the integrity of the elections as the president Donald J. Trump. That’s why tomorrow I’ll be proudly arrested in Georgia”, declared the Republican on social networks on Wednesday.

At least 9 of the 19 defendants in this alleged mafia plot have already turned themselves in at the Fulton prison and have been released after paying bail, including Trump’s former lawyer and former New York mayor. Rudy Giuliani.

The one in Georgia is the fourth criminal accusation against Trump, after the case of bribing the porn actress stormy danielsthat of the classified documents that he took from the White House and the one of storming the capitol.

However, this case has gained great relevance because, being a state judicial process instead of a federal one, Trump could not pardon himself if he regains the Presidency in 2025.

Trump, the heavy favorite in next year’s Republican primary, did not participate in the party’s first candidate debate on Wednesday.
