Two out of the 19 individuals who were charged in Georgia for their alleged involvement in attempts to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election voluntarily surrendered themselves to authorities on Tuesday. 

This marked the initial instance of former President Donald Trump’s co-defendants taking this step.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis granted the accused individuals until noon on Friday to turn themselves in. Although Trump, who has yet to enter a plea and still maintains his innocence, declared on Truth Social on Monday night his intention to surrender this upcoming Thursday.

As per records from Fulton County inmates, Scott Hall, a bail bondsman from Georgia, and John Eastman, a conservative lawyer, were officially booked on Tuesday.

Scott Hall is accused of participating in a scheme to unlawfully access election equipment and voter data in Coffee County, Georgia. He faces seven charges in total, with his bond set at $10,000. This includes a $4,000 bond related to Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), and an additional $1,000 bond for each of the six remaining conspiracy counts, as outlined in a consent bond order.

A 41-count indictment was issued by a Fulton County grand jury the previous week. This indictment alleges that Trump and 18 other individuals participated in a “criminal enterprise” aimed at overturning the former president’s electoral defeat in Georgia.

Under the terms of his bond agreement in Georgia, Trump, who has had his bail set at $200,000, is prohibited from direct communication with any of his co-defendants in the case, with all communication required to go through his legal representatives. Additionally, he has been explicitly instructed not to make any form of direct or indirect threats against the community, including refraining from posting on social media or reposting content from other individuals that could be construed as threatening.
