Trump is on trial in Georgia for attempting to reverse his defeat in the 2020 election. He announced he would head to an Atlanta jail on Thursday. The time has not yet been announced, but US media reported that air traffic was restricted. This will happen at 6:45pm (0:45am Dutch time on Friday).
At the Fulton County Jail, a police photo of a former president may be taken for the first time in American history. Authorities have found that unnecessary in the three other pending criminal cases against Trump. But in Georgia, Trump will be treated like any other suspect as possible.
Trump is involved in four criminal cases and has already changed his lawyer. A source close to the former president called Sado “the best criminal lawyer in Georgia”. Findling, who has now been replaced by Sado, is known as the “billion dollar lawyer”. He has helped famous artists, such as Cardi B and Gucci Mane.
It remains unclear when the trial could begin in Georgia. Jury selection can take a long time, because many people have strong opinions about the former president. Trump’s lawyers can argue that their client cannot get a fair trial in Fulton County, where rival Joe Biden won about 73 percent of the vote in the 2020 election.
