TRANSCRIT
0:01
A Fulton County judge has set a $200,000
0:04
bond for former President Donald Trump,
0:06
and bond has also been sent for the several
0:08
other defendants charged in a massive Rico
0:10
case tied to the Georgia 2020 election.
0:12
So within the last couple of ho,
0:14
we spotted Trump's attorneys heg
0:16
into the Fulton County Courthou,
0:18
presumably to discuss the bond conditions.
0:21
We have a crew there trying to ask them
0:23
questions as they walk out of that courtroom.
0:25
Let's get straight to Joe Riple.
0:26
He's live at the Fulton County ,
0:28
where all nineteen of these codefendants
0:30
or these offendants will have to show
0:32
up at some point this week. Joe.
0:36
That's right, Ron.
0:37
Some point between now and Friday at noon.
0:38
That is the deadline set by
0:40
Fulton County DA Fonnie Willis.
0:42
As a matter of fact,
0:43
a former President Trump's
0:44
bond was just set by a judge
0:47
this afternoon at $200,000,
0:48
by far more than any other
0:51
codefendant in this Rico case.
0:52
So these bond conditions just set this
0:55
afternoon by a Superior Court j,
0:57
lay out a quicker process so fos
0:59
who have to come and get bookedn
1:02
can get out of the jail a lot faster.
1:04
Fulton
1:05
County Sheriff's deputies wait
1:06
outside the Fulton County jail
1:08
expecting former President Trumd
1:10
18 Co defendants listed in a Rio
1:12
indictment in Fulton County to n
1:14
themselves in 11 alive confirme.
1:15
This afternoon, a judge set bonr
1:17
several defendants accused of playing
1:19
a role on the alternate elector scheme
1:21
and providing false testimony at
1:22
election fraud to Georgia lawma.
1:24
Bond was also set for a defendat
1:26
charged with copying election da
1:27
and software in Coffee County.
1:29
When a court is willing to set bail or bond,
1:33
it means that they have agreed t
1:35
there's some amount of money tht
1:37
the offender, the alleged offen,
1:39
can pay in order to remain free, Emory
1:42
University law professor Kay Levine says.
1:44
The judge looks at a number of
1:46
factors when determining bond,
1:47
including the charges themselve.
1:49
People who have more significant resources,
1:53
especially passports, and who he
1:55
no significant ties to Georgia,
1:57
appear to be greater flight risks than
1:59
people who have fewer resources and our
2:02
longstanding members of the community,
2:04
Levine says. Defendants who livn
2:06
Georgia and don't have close ties with
2:08
Trump might be considered less a
2:10
flight risk and therefore get lower bonds.
2:12
The bond notice requires defendants to
2:14
report to pretrial supervision every 30 days,
2:17
show up to court at the given t,
2:19
not break any laws, not talk abt
2:20
the case with any codefendants
2:22
or witnesses or intimidate them.
2:25
All right, Joe. So some of our
2:26
viewers are probably wondering,
2:27
why are former President Trump's
2:29
bond conditions different
2:30
from the other codefendants?
2:34
Right. So the conditions that
2:35
we just laid out a moment ago,
2:38
those all apply to former President Trump.
2:40
The only difference in this cas,
2:42
Ron, is that there are some more
2:44
guide guardrails and guidelines,
2:45
if you will, when it comes to specific
2:47
threats or intimidation that cod
2:49
be made directly or indirectly,
2:51
according to these filing docum,
2:53
especially as it concerns former
2:55
President Trump's social media.
2:56
We'll get into more of that,
2:57
plus why former President Trump's bond
2:59
is set so significantly higher n
3:01
the other code defendants ahead at six.
3:04
All right, Joe,
3:04
we'll see you tonight at 6:00.
