“Mugshot” is the term used for the characteristic police photos taken of arrested persons in the United States. Trump was not photographed when he reported himself to the police in New York, Florida and Washington, DC earlier this year in cases in which he is also charged. In Georgia, there are no exceptions, the rule is that a photograph and fingerprints must be taken. The former president will then be released on bail of 200,000 dollars, or around 2 million Norwegian kroner. Trump is expected at the Fulton District Jail in Atlanta sometime after midnight Norwegian time, and will arrive there from his golf club in New Jersey. Large police forces are in place around the prison area. So are a number of national and international media. Many of the police officers who form a security ring around the entrance to the prison are well covered, so as not to be recognised. Photo: BRENDAN MCDERMID / Reuters Believes it is persecution Outside the prison itself, 100-150 Trump supporters and a few opponents have gathered. Some have T-shirts with a manipulated mugshot image of Trump. Already after the first indictment in New York, his election campaign had one made. Among the supporters, there are several who say that they are there to stop the prosecution. Two of those who have positioned themselves outside the prison entrance, sitting in deck chairs, are Cathy and Marsha from Atlanta. – We are here to fight for freedom. I came to support Trump, to show that he is not alone, says Cathy to news. Cathy and Marsha have no doubt that all the indictments and upcoming trials against Donald Trump are political persecution. Photo: TOVE BJØRGAAS / news She believes Trump is being prosecuted because he is a clear candidate for the Republicans in next year’s presidential election. – They are afraid that he will be re-elected. And, if they are so afraid of it, then he will be our next president, says Cathy. Her friend Marsha is of the same opinion and does not have much faith in either the legal system or the governing authorities. – Trump did nothing wrong. Nothing will come of this. It is only politics, only his political opponents trying to destroy a competitor. – This is the United States, where elections are supposed to be free and fair. Not a place where one pursues one’s opponents. That’s what they’re trying to do, convince Americans that he’s a criminal, even though he’s not, says Marsha. Reporting in a row The District Jail is located a short distance outside the center of Atlanta. In recent days, a number of people have made the journey to the large walled complex to register by the deadline of midnight on Friday. In addition to Trump, a total of 18 people have been charged in the case. Usually, defendants sit in the prison, which is known for harsh sentencing conditions, for several days before being released. But the lawyers for Donald Trump and the other co-defendants have negotiated how the prison meetings will proceed. And that they are immediately released on bail. Donald Trump’s co-accused in Georgia A total of 19 people have been charged in the case of attempted electoral fraud in the US state of Georgia during the 2020 presidential election.

Meadows is seeking to move the trial from state court to federal court, hoping it will be easier to get the case dismissed there. Meadows’ lawyers argue that the chief of staff was only doing the job he was asked to do as a public servant after the 2020 election. Donald Trump’s last chief of staff Mark Meadows turned himself in to prosecutors Thursday afternoon. Photo: AFP The transfer request will be processed on Monday, but the prosecution made it clear yesterday that the former chief of staff has to report to Atlanta anyway, before he can be released on bail. New York’s former mayor Rudy Giuliani, who in recent years has served as Trump’s lawyer and adviser, turned himself in for prosecutors yesterday. He went through the same procedure that awaits Trump. His “mugshot” was made public a few hours later. The photo of an arrested Rudy Giuliani was published on Wednesday. He was then released on bail. Photo: FULTON COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE / Reuters Indicted under the mafia section Trump & co. is prosecuted under the state’s mafia section, the so-called Rico Act (Racketeer Influenced And Corrupt Organizations Act). It is usually used in cases against organized crime. Prosecutors believe the 19 defendants entered into a criminal conspiracy with the intention of changing the election results in Georgia during the 2020 presidential election. Trump and his supporters, lawyers and advisers allegedly tried to influence key elected officials in the state, pointed out fake voters who would vote for Trump and not Biden and illegally gained access to voting machines. The indictment against Trump alone has 13 counts. State Attorney Fani Willis, who has led the investigation and issued the indictments, announced today that the prosecution wants the trial to start as early as 23 October. The original plan was to start in March next year. Many of the police officers who form a security ring around the entrance to the prison are well covered, so as not to be recognised. Photo: BRENDAN MCDERMID / Reuters The reason for the acceleration must be due to the lawyer Kenneth Chesebro, who has signaled that he wants a quick trial, according to the local TV station WSB-TV. Chesebro participated in the conspiracy to nominate false electors and wrote and submitted false documents to election and state authorities on Trump’s behalf. The first court hearing where Trump must answer whether he declares himself guilty or not guilty after the indictment has been proposed to be held already in a few weeks. As the events unfold in Georgia, Republicans in the House of Representatives in Congress have begun an investigation of Attorney General Willis. Armed police officers wait at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. They will escort the former president to prison. Photo: RICARDO ARDUENGO / Reuters Dropped presidential debate Donald Trump is now indicted in four different cases. These are the legal proceedings surrounding Donald Trump: There is great tension linked to another possible indictment in the vote counting case, where Trump is blamed for trying to change the result of the last presidential election in the state of Georgia. This is expected to arrive this summer. Trump has 40 counts of indictment against him in Florida, where he is accused of having kept classified documents, and of trying to prevent the case from being investigated. In New York, he is charged with providing false information about the money he gave to porn star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about an alleged affair between the two. He was also convicted under civil law in Manhattan for a sexual assault against the author E. Jean Carroll. In an interview with former talk show host Tucker Carlson on Wednesday night, Trump repeated many of the false claims that he was robbed of his 2020 election victory. The interview took place on X (formerly Twitter) as Trump’s competitors for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in 2024 participated in a debate on Fox News, the conservative television channel where Tucker Carlson was previously the undisputed star and where Trump had almost free access. Follow the developments in news’s Nyhetssenter: Carlson was fired from Fox after the channel had to shell out almost 8 billion dollars in damages to the company Dominion Voting Systems for having communicated and repeated Trump’s claim that the voting machines were rigged so that Biden would win the presidential election . In the interview, the former president praised his supporters who stormed Congress on 6 January 2020 and downplayed the use of violence, as he usually does. Trump, who did not want to participate in the debate on Fox News, claimed that the competitors are “irrelevant” and butchered their performance in the debate. Trump still leads widely in the opinion polls to become the party’s presidential candidate.
