Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants have until noon ET on Friday, August 25, to voluntarily surrender to Georgia authorities after being indicted in the state's 2020 election subversion case. Follow here for the latest live news updates.
Here's how surrenders work at the Fulton County jail – and why Trump’s will be differentA sign is posted outside of the Fulton County Jail on August 16, 2023 in Atlanta, Georgia. Megan Varner/Getty Images, Georgia, police make an arrest, the person arrested is booked into jail and that person must appear before a magistrate judge within 72 hours.
The judge that considers the bond agreement has to consider four factors when deciding whether to approve the bond agreements, attorneys told CNN. The judge has to determine the defendant is not a flight risk, is not likely to commit other felonies pending trial, does not present a danger to the community and is not likely to intimidate witnesses or take other steps to interfere with the case.
Normally, those taken into custody are thoroughly searched by a jail deputy. In the past, though, some high-profiled defendants who have voluntarily surrendered were not subjected to that thorough body search. We don’t know if anyone related to the Trump case would be subjected to this search. For a typical defendant, the booking process can take hours, much of which is spent waiting around for their turn to be booked.
