Donald Trump Georgia indictment: Ex-President expected to surrender next week

With negotiations between the former president’s lawyers and the Fulton County district attorney over details about his surrender spilling into next week, Donald Trump will be expected to turn himself in as early as next week.

Former USpresident Donald Trump could be expected to turn himself over to authorities next week, which is much earlier than the August 25 deadline initially given.

The Fulton County Sheriff said that all 19 defendants in the case, including Mr Trump himself, are expected to report to the Fulton County jail at the time of surrender, which is a common procedure. While Pat Labat, Fulton County Sheriff, didn’t exactly suggest that Mr Trump will be subjected to a “perp walk,” he made it clear that he wants all of the defendants in the case to be treated as any other individuals on trial.

Unfortunately for Mr Trump and his allies, this means they will undergo the fingerprint and mugshot process respectively. The Fulton County authorities are expected to sort out the specific details of Trump’s surrender with his lawyers and Secret Service detail, according to CNN.

The case in Georgia outlines Mr Trump’s, and his circle of lawyers and White House staff’s, scheme to overturn the 2020 election, which ultimately failed. The indictment cites several actions the former president took to reverse his election loss, including calling the Georgia State Secretary telling him to “find” 12,000 votes, pressuring lawmakers in the state to ignore the votes and cast a new slate of electors and intimidating poll workers on baseless claims of election fraud among others.
