00:00 I am giving the defendants the opportunity to voluntarily surrender no later than noon

00:06 on Friday, the 25th day of August 2023. Former President Donald Trump has said that he will

00:15 surrender to authorities in Georgia on Thursday to face charges in the case accusing him of

00:20 illegally scheming to overturn his 2020 election laws. "I will be going to Atlanta,

00:26 Georgia on Thursday to be arrested," Trump said on his own platform Truth Social. He claimed

00:32 that the indictment was politically motivated in an effort to derail his re-election bid.

00:37 In a 98-page Georgia indictment revealed last week, prosecutors had accused Trump and 18 other

00:44 defendants of conspiring to subvert the will of voters by keeping him in the White House after he

00:50 lost to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. He and the co-defendants have been charged with a

00:56 total of 41 criminal counts in connection with efforts to overturn his electoral laws in the

01:02 state. The Fulton County Sheriff's Office said in a news release on Monday afternoon that when Trump

01:07 surrenders, there will be a hard lockdown of the area surrounding the Maine County Jail.

01:12 In a court document posted online on Monday, bond amounts for the 13 charges against the

01:18 former president ranged from $10,000 for counts including criminal conspiracy and filing false

01:24 documents to $80,000 for a violation of the Georgia RICO Act that is often used against

01:31 organized crime. Several co-defendants in the sweeping Georgia racketeering case have also

01:37 agreed to the terms of their bond agreements with the district attorney's office. The bond document

01:42 also said that Trump shall not communicate in any way directly or indirectly about the facts of this

01:48 case with any person known to him to be a co-defendant in this case except through his or

01:54 her counsel. Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis has set a deadline of noon on Friday for

02:00 Trump and his 18 co-defendants to turn themselves in to be booked. The prosecutor has proposed that

02:07 arraignments for the defendants follow during the week of 5 September. She has said she wants to

02:12 try the defendants collectively and bring the case to trial in March of next year which would put it

02:18 in the heat of the presidential nominating season. Former President Donald Trump has denied wrongdoing

02:24 in Georgia and in three other indictments which have produced a total of 91 criminal charges.

02:30 The charges cover federal and state election subversion in 2020, the retention of classified

02:35 information after leaving office, and hush money payments to a bond star during the 2016 election.
