After Giuliani arrived in Atlanta, the state capital, from New York, where he was the emblematic mayor, his lawyers went to court for a hearing on the amount of his bail, which was set by the judge to $150,000. Rudy Giuliani then went to the county jail to officially report himself as a prisoner, have his fingerprints taken and pose for a mug shot, before being released on bail.
The 19 other defendants in this case have until Friday at noon (6:00 p.m. French time) to submit to this procedure, which also provides for the recording in the archives of the prison administration of the height, weight, everyone’s skin and eye color. In total, eight of them, including the constitutionalist John Eastman, or the conservative lawyer Sidney Powell, thus made themselves available to the authorities. Trump announced he would do so on Thursday.
” I am a big boy “
A grand jury (panel of citizens with investigative powers) appointed by County Attorney Fani Willis on August 14 indicted Trump and 18 others for their allegedly wrongful attempts to reverse the result of the 2020 election won in this key state by current Democratic President Joe Biden. They are prosecuted under a law on organized crime which provides for sentences of five to twenty years in prison.
“I’m a big boy, I can resist that. I fought much worse fights than that,” Giuliani told CNN as he left his home in New York, where he was also a federal prosecutor.
“A + mug shot + for the man who probably placed the worst criminals of the 20th century in prison”, ironically launched Rudy Giuliani, known for his anti-Mafia fight in New York. “They’re going to dishonor themselves by doing a + mug shot + of me,” he added.
Donald Trump, big favorite in the Republican primaries for the 2024 presidential election, is the subject of four criminal charges, two at the federal level, in Washington and Florida (southeast), one in New York State and one in Georgia.
