How will Trump be processed as he surrenders in Georgia?
Former President Donald Trump says he will surrender in Atlanta on Thursday. His $200,000 bond conditions include not intimidating co-defendants, witnesses and others in the community.
FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - After receiving his consent bond order from a Fulton County judge, it appears former President Donald J. Trump will surrender at the Fulton County Jail this Thursday. He announced his intention to turn himself in via his social platform, Truth Social.
"Can you believe it? I'll be going to Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday to be ARRESTED by a Radical Left District Attorney, Fani Willis, who is overseeing one of the greatest Murder and Violent Crime DISASTERS in American History," the former president posted. "In my case, the trip to Atlanta is not for ‘Murder,' but for making a PERFECT PHONE CALL!'"
The ‘perfect phone call’ he mentions refers to a recorded phone conversation between Trump and Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which the former president asked Raffensperger to help "find" the votes needed to overturn his narrow loss to Democrat Joe Biden. The call took place January 2021.
A statement released on Tuesday from the Atlanta mayor’s office refutes Trump’s claims:
"The Mayor is an engineer by trade and is focused on facts and data—not empty rhetoric.
"While one homicide in Atlanta is one too many, as of Friday, homicides are down 26% compared to this time last year. As of last week, overall crimes against persons are down 23% compared to this time last year.
"Atlanta continues to attract corporations and major events like the 2026 FIFA World Cup and was named the best place to live by Money magazine. Mayor Dickens’ whole of government approach for public safety is working and he will continue to leverage all available resources to keep our communities safe.’
