Topline

Fulton County authorities released a mug shot taken Thursday of former President Donald Trump’s ex-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, shortly after he surrendered and was booked in the Fulton County Jail in the Georgia election interference case filed last week against Trump and 18 others.

Key Facts

Kenneth Chesebro

Chesebro, a former Trump attorney charged with seven counts for allegedly playing a key role in drafting a plan to use fake electors to falsely certify Georgia Electoral College results in Trump’s favor, according to prosecutors, was released Wednesday on a $100,000 bond.

John Eastman

Eastman, a former Trump attorney also accused of helping devise the fake electors scheme and charged with nine counts, was released Tuesday on a $100,000 bond.

Jenna Ellis

Jenna Ellis, also a former Trump attorney charged with two counts accusing her of contributing to the fake electors scheme and making false allegations of election fraud, was released Wednesday on a $100,000 bond.

Harrison Floyd

Harrison Floyd, leader of Black Voices for Trump who was charged with three counts accusing him of playing a role in pressuring election worker Ruby Freeman into falsely admitting voter fraud, was booked Thursday in the Fulton County Jail, but had yet to be released as he has yet to reach a bond agreement with prosecutors.

Rudy Giuliani

Former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, charged with 13 counts, including making false claims of election fraud to Georgia elected officials and helping recruit fake electors, was released Wednesday on a $150,000 bond.

Scott Hall

Bail bondsman Scott Hall, the first defendant in the case to surrender Tuesday, is charged with seven counts largely stemming from allegations he participated in a scheme to unlawfully access voter software in Coffee County; he was released on a $10,000 bond.

Cathy Latham

Former Coffee County GOP Chair Cathy Latham, one of 16 people accused of posing as fake electors, is charged with 11 counts and was released on a $75,000 bond Wednesday.

Mark Meadows

Meadows, who partook in Trump’s infamous January 2021 call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which Trump asked Raffensperger to “find” votes needed to tip the election results in his favor, was charged with racketeering and solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer; he surrendered Thursday and was released on a $100,000 bond.

Sidney Powell

Former Trump attorney Sidney Powell, charged with seven counts and accused of making false claims of election fraud, was released Wednesday on a $100,000 bond.

David Shafer

Ray Smith

Georgia attorney Ray Smith, charged with 12 counts and also accused by prosecutors of playing a crucial role in the fake electors plot, was released Wednesday on a $50,000 bond.

Key Background

The Fulton County District Attorney’s office indicted Trump and 18 others last Monday on 41 counts related to their efforts to upend the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state. The DA’s office gave the defendants until Friday at noon to surrender in the case, and they began negotiating their bond agreements on Monday. More than half of the defendants have now agreed to the terms of their release, including Trump, who said he will turn himself in Thursday under a $200,000 bond agreement with prosecutors. All of the defendants are charged with racketeering in the case, including Trump, who faces 12 additional charges, bringing the total number of felonies he has been charged with in the four indictments against him since March to 91.

What To Watch For

Trump said he will surrender Thursday at 7:30 p.m. to the Fulton County Jail, where he will be arrested, booked and have his mug shot taken.

Tangent

A federal judge rejected bids from Clark and Meadows to halt their arrests after they filed court papers seeking to move their cases to federal court, arguing they were acting under the scope of federal law. Shafer has also filed a motion to move his case to federal court.
