Former President Donald Trump and several co-defendants in the sweeping Georgia racketeering case are expected to work out the terms of their bond today with the Fulton County district attorney’s office, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
Trump’s legal team has been in contact with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ office, and conversations are expected to continue this week about the logistics of his surrender at the jail and arraignment in court, sources tell CNN.
One of the sources indicated that Trump’s lawyers Todd Blanche, Jennifer Little and Drew Findling will be doing the negotiating and likely visiting the DA’s office in Georgia today. Little and Findling are both based in the state, while Blanche has taken the helm as Trump’s primary defense attorney across his multiple criminal indictments.
In a typical case in Fulton County when law enforcement makes an arrest, the arrestee is booked into jail and must appear before a magistrate judge within 72 hours. That most likely won’t be the case for the defendants in this racketeering case.
Because they have already been indicted and are expected to negotiate the terms of release and bond before surrendering at the jail, they most likely won’t have an initial court appearance, attorneys told CNN.
