ATLANTA – Former President Donald Trump and his 18 co-defendants have until next Friday to surrender at the Fulton County Jail on charges they conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 election, District Attorney Fani Willis said.
On Wednesday, deputies stood guard at the jail entrance and kept the news media across the street in preparation for the slew of newly-indicted inmates.
Sheriff Pat Labat said the former president, like every other defendant that comes through the Rice Street jail, will have a mugshot taken.
Criminal defense attorney Josh Schiff said he’s been through the booking process with clients more times than he can count in the last two decades.
“There is a lot of sitting. This is a slow process,” Schiff said. “A trip to Rice Street is one of the rare commonalities of virtually everyone who is processed criminally in Fulton County shares.”
