Former President Donald Trump's legal team and other attorneys for co-defendants accused of attempting to subvert the 2020 election arrived in Fulton County, Georgia, on Monday to iron on the terms of their bond and release conditions.
District Attorney Fani Willis reached a bond agreement with Trump just after 3:30 p.m. EDT, setting his bond at $200,000. Under the terms of the consent bond order, Trump cannot perform any acts of witness intimidation or communicate directly or indirectly about the facts of the case with any co-defendants except through his attorneys.A bond agreement was also met with two of Trump's co-defendants on Monday, including attorney John Eastman.
Co-defendant, Scott Hall, who is a bail bondsman, had his bond set at $10,000. He is facing seven charges related to an alleged connection with a local elections office breach in Coffee County, Georgia. Eastman, who allegedly helped form the strategy that led Trump to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence to throw out electors on Jan. 6, 2021, faces nine counts. Eastman's attorneys vowed last week to challenge the charges he is facing and said,"Lawyers everywhere should be sleepless over this latest stunt to criminalize their advocacy.
Eastman is also referenced, though not explicitly named, as an unindicted co-conspirator in special counsel Jack Smith's federal election subversion case against Trump.
