Trump Bond Set At $200K In Georgia Racketeering Case: Report

ATLANTA, GA — Former President Donald J. Trump was granted a $200,000 bond Monday in connection with racketeering charges that stem from the 2020 presidential election, Atlanta News First reported.

Four of Trump's 18 co-defendants were also granted bonds as of late Monday afternoon.

Trump's campaign attorneys John Eastman and Kenneth Chesebro were both granted a $100,000 consent bond while Atlanta bail bondsman Scott Hall was granted a $10,000 consent bond, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. The outlet also reported Atlanta Attorney Ray Smith III was granted a $50,000 bond.

Eastman is being charged on suspicion of racketeering, criminal conspiracy and filing false documents, NBC News reported.

NBC reported Eastman's bond includes special conditions such as reporting to pre-trial supervision every 30 days.

Hall is charged on suspicion of racketeering and criminal conspiracy, the outlet reported. He was accused in a scheme to access Coffee County voting machines and data during the election.

Smith was charged on suspicion of violation of the RICO Act, conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer, conspiracy to commit filing false documents, two counts each of false statements and writings, conspiracy to commit false statements and writings, conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree and three counts of solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer, the AJC reported.

Chesebro is charged on suspicion of violating the RICO Act, conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer, conspiracy to commit filing false documents and two counts each of conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree and conspiracy to commit false statements and writings, the AJC reported.

All four defendants were indicted on Aug. 14, along with former President Donald J. Trump and 16 other co-defendants. CNN reported Monday attorneys for the defendant were meeting with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' office to negotiate their bond.

According to CNN, negotiations include Trump's surrender at the Fulton County Jail and his arraignment on racketeering charges.

A day after Trump was indicted by a Fulton County grand jury on Aug. 14, the Fulton County Sheriff's Office said Trump and his co-defendants will be booked at the Rice Street jail. The group was accused of interfering with the 2020 presidential election, during which Trump, a Republican, lost to Democrat Joe Biden.

In a past report, ABC News reported the defendants have until noon Friday to turn themselves in at the jail.

Trump initially planned to host a press conference Monday, saying he would present exoneration documents. However, he canceled the news conference last week at the advice of his attorneys, per his Truth Social posting Thursday.

He told Fox Business' Larry Kudlow he believes his voice is being suppressed, adding, "They don't want you to ever talk about an election. If you talk about an election, they want to put you in jail."
