Former President Donald Trump said he will be arrested in Atlanta on Thursday following his indictment in the state by Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis regarding his questioning of the 2020 Presidential Election.
Trump took to Truth Social announcing his upcoming arrest.
“Can you believe it? I”ll be going to Atlanta, Georgia on Thursday to be ARRESTED by a Radical Left District Attorney, Fani Willis, who is overseeing one of the greatest Murder and Violent Crime DISASTERS in American History,” Trump said of the Fulton County DA. “In my case, the trip to Atlanta is not for ’Murder,’ but for making a PERFECT PHONE CALL!”
“She campaigned, and is continuing to campaign, and raise money on, this WITCH HUNT,” the former president continued. “This is in strict coordination with Crooked Joe Biden’s DOJ.”
“It’s is all about ELECTION INTERFERENCE!”

Yesterday, Fulton County set the former President’s bond at $200,000.
The former president has received a bond amount of $80,000 for allegedly violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), along with $60,000 for six counts worth of Criminal Conspiracy, and another $30,000 bond for Criminal Solicitation. Trump is also granted another $10,000 bond on Filing False Documents, and another $20,000 for False Statements.
Trump may post bond as cash, through commercial surety, or through Fulton County Jail’s 10% program, per the Monday bail posting.
“The Defendant shall not violate the laws of this State, the laws of any other state, the laws of the United States of America, or any other local laws,” per the consent bond order.
“The Defendant shall perform no act to intimidate any person known to him or her to be a codefendant or witness in this case or to otherwise obstruct the administration of justice,” reads Trump’s bail posting, which notes the former president must appear in court.
The bail posting further states the former president “shall make no direct or indirect threat of any nature against any codefendant [or] any witness including, but not limited to, the individuals designated in the Indictment as an unindicated co-conspirators Individual 1 through Individual 30.”
Trump may also not make a direct or indirect threat of any nature against any victim, the community or to any property in the community. The document extends potential direct or indirect threats to Trump’s personal social media posts, or reposts of another individual’s post on social media.
“The Defendant shall not communicate in any way, directly or indirectly, about the facts of this case with any person known to him to be a codefendant in this case except through his or her counsel,” the document concludes.
On Monday afternoon, Trump’s legal team, consisting of Todd Blanche, Jennifer Little, and Drew Findling, accepted Fulton County’s $200,000 bond.
This is the former president’s fourth indictment this year.
