Donald Trump booked into jail in Georgia — for 23 minutes
Donald Trump voluntarily surrendered to the Fulton County jail in Georgia for the fourth criminal case brought against him since April.
Here's what's happening:
- Trump's surrender: In a visit that lasted just 23 minutes, Trump was booked and had his mug shot taken.
- Codefendants: Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows was among the latest of 12 defendants to surrender. The remaining seven have been given a deadline of Friday at noon.
- Legal maneuvers: Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis wants to move the start of the trial up to Oct. 23, and hours before his booking, Trump put a prominent defense lawyer at the top of his team.
Trump posted his own mugshot alongside the date, his website and the words, "ELECTION INTERFERENCE / NEVER SURRENDER!"
Notably and without explanation, Trump removed the Sheriff's seal from the corner of the photo.
The phrase "NEVER SURRENDER" also appears on the landing page for his website alongside a request for donations in order to "SAVE AMERICA from this dark chapter in our nation's history."
A booking report from Fulton County Jail shows former President Donald Trump was placed under arrest and released on Thursday night.
Ahead of the surrender, he agreed to pay a $200,000 in bond for 13 charges.
He was assigned the inmate number P01135809 and is described in the report as a "white male" with "blond or strawberry" hair and blue eyes. He's listed as standing 6'3" and weighing 215 lbs.
