On Thursday, former President Donald Trump is scheduled to appear in court in Georgia to answer for allegedly conspiring unlawfully to rig the 2020 election.
When Trump turns himself in, the main county jail will be placed under a strict lockdown, according to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office. Also prohibited by the court’s order is Trump’s use of social media to threaten any defendants, witnesses, or victims in the case.
Georgia election charges
Trump is forbidden from making any direct or indirect threats against witnesses or fellow defendants, and from communicating with them about the details of the case without the assistance of counsel, according to the bond agreement signed by the judge, Trump’s defense lawyers, and the Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
Trump’s bond is set at $80,000 for the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) allegation, plus an additional $10,000 for each of the other 12 counts he is charged with.
The case would be tried in March of the next year, during the height of the presidential nominating season, after the defendants’ arraignments, which would take place the week of September 5.
Trump was accused last week along with several associates to keep the Republican in the White House after he lost to the Democrat Joe Biden, according to the prosecution.
In his denial of any wrongdoing, he refers to this lawsuit and the other three he is currently dealing with as attempts to harm his 2024 presidential candidacy.
