Former President of the United States (US) Donald Trump will not be arrested in the case of the US Election. He has been released on bail.
Reported by CNN, Friday (25/8/2023), Trump agreed to guarantees of $ 200,000 or around Rp. 3 billion if converted to Rupiah and other conditions for release. Among them is not using social media to intimidate other defendants or witnesses in the case, which was previously negotiated by his lawyer.
Fulton County marks the first case in which Trump has been required to post bail. His chances of being released without cash bail are slim in Georgia. Trump was already facing three other felony charges when he was indicted here.
Previously, Donald Trump surrendered to Fulton County, Georgia. Trump was immediately arrested in the case of the US election.
Reported by CNN, Friday (25/8), Trump is being held at the Fulton County Jail. He was detained along with 18 other defendants. Trump is listed as 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 215 pounds (96 kilograms). He is also noted to have blue eyes with blond hair.
This arrest was confirmed directly by Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat. He said all 19 defendants in the Georgia election subversion case would undergo the same process as other criminal defendants in the region.
Nevertheless, members of Trump's team told CNN today that they are still unsure whether the former president will be photographed.
US election case
As is known, Trump and 18 people were previously charged with criminal attempts to interfere in the presidential election in Georgia. Trump is accused of committing a criminal conspiracy to overturn the state's 2020 US election results.
The case stems from a phone call on January 2, 2021, in which Trump urged Georgia's top election official, Brad Raffensperger, to find enough ballots so Trump could reverse his narrow loss in the state. Raffensperger refused to do that.
Four days later, on January 6, 2021, and two weeks before Trump left office, his supporters stormed the US Capitol. The raid was one effort to prevent lawmakers from certifying Biden's victory.
