In relation to the Georgia election, Trump claims he will be detained on Thursday.

In order to answer charges of interfering with an election, Donald Trump has stated that he intends to present himself to a Georgian court on Thursday.


The bail amount for the former president has been set at $200,000 (£157,000) by the Atlanta judge in charge of his case.


According to the deal, Mr. Trump may remain unhindered until his trial as long as he doesn't try to intimidate or threaten any witnesses.


Among the 13 accusations against Mr. Trump are racketeering and making false statements.


He had previously been granted until Friday at noon to appear at the Fulton County Jail for processing along with the other 18 suspects in this case.


The county sheriff has stated that they will all be processed like other defendants, which may entail having Mr. Trump's mugshot and fingerprints taken.


His bond agreement's parameters were disclosed in a court document before he posted on social media that he would surrender on Thursday.


The court order stated that the defendant "shall not engage in any act to coerce any person known to him or her to be a co-defendant or witness in this case or to obstruct the administration of justice in any other manner."


The order continues, "The foregoing shall include, but not be limited to, posts on social media or reposts of posts made by another person on social media."


The document was signed by Mr. Trump's attorneys and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is in charge of the case.


Later on Monday, Mr. Trump wrote on his Truth Social social media page: "Can you believe it? On Thursday, I'll travel to Atlanta, Georgia, to be ARRESTED by Fani Willis, a radical left district attorney.


He said, "She campaigned and is still campaigning and raising money on this WITCH HUNT. "This is strictly coordinated with the corrupt Joe Biden Justice Department."

Ms. Willis has requested that the judge set the arraignment date for September 5 so that a defendant can enter a plea of guilty or not guilty after being formally charged.

She also suggested starting the experiment in March. The arraignment and trial may both be broadcast on television.

There will be a lockdown in place when Mr. Trump does submit, and barricades have already been set up outside the court.

Following his loss to Democrat Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election, Mr. Trump and his co-defendants were charged last week with trying to sway the Georgia electorate by interfering with the state's election results.

During a phone chat, the former president reportedly urged Georgia's Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find 11,780 votes" during the vote tally.

He faces three additional criminal prosecutions and is the first US president to ever have been indicted while in office.

Mr. Trump has categorically denied any misconduct and claims the accusations are made for political gain.

He is now in the lead in the Republican primary to select its next nominee for president, who would face the Democratic nominee in the 2024 presidential election, most likely Joe Biden.

Trump has already declared he won't watch the opening Republican televised debate on Wednesday night.

On Sunday, Mr. Trump stated on Truth Social, "The people understands who I am and what a successful Presidency I had. "I won't be participating in the debates as a result."

Trump has reportedly recorded an interview with former Fox News personality Tucker Carlson, according to sources close to him.

Republican voters will select their party's nominee in state-by-state primaries, which will start on January 15, 2024.
