'Can you believe it? I'll be going to Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday to be ARRESTED,' Trump wrote on his social media network, hours after his bond was set at $200,000, according to court papers filed Monday.
The bond agreement was outlined in a court filing signed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Trump's defense attorneys.Former President Donald Trump says he will surrender to authorities in Georgia on Thursday to face charges in the case accusing him of illegally scheming to overturn his 2020 election loss.
Trump, according to the papers, is also barred from intimidating co-defendants, witnesses or victims in the case - including on social media - according to the bond agreement signed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, Trump's defense attorneys and the judge. It explicitly includes "posts on social media or reposts of posts" made by others.
The order sets Trump's bond for the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations - or RICO - charge at $80,000, and adds $10,000 for each of the 12 other counts he is facing. Bond is the amount defendants must pay as a form of collateral to ensure they show up in court ahead of trial. A Trump spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A phone message seeking comment was also left for an attorney for the former president.
Bond was also set Monday for three lawyers who were indicted along with Trump. For each of them, the bond for the RICO charge was set at $20,000, with varying amounts for the other charges they face. John Eastman and Kenneth Chesebro each had a bond set at $100,000.
