Trump's defense accepts $200,000 bail for Georgia election case
According to the bail order, the former president must not threaten or harass witnesses or co-defendants in the case.
Lawyers for former President Donald Trump have accepted a bail order for the Georgia election case set at $200,000 spread out across several criminal charges facing the Republican nominee.
Now Trump has to appear in court this week to deposit the money and be officially registered before Friday's deadline.
The most expensive charge is the alleged violation of the law against organized crime, set at $80,000. For the other twelve crimes Trump faces, the former president must pay $10,000 each.
The three-page order, signed by Georgia Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, in addition to the financial bail, also establishes a series of conditions for the provisional release of the former president, who faces this charge for allegedly trying to reverse the 2020 election results.
Explicitly, the order says Trump must not threaten or harass witnesses or codefendants in the case, even on social media.
"The Defendant shall perform no act to intimidate any person known to him or her to be a codefendant or witness in this case or to otherwise obstruct the administration of justice," reads the order, signed by attorneys Drew Findling, Marissa Goldberg and Jennifer Little, who represent Trump.
The order also says that the Republican cannot make any kind of "direct or indirect threat of any nature against the community or to any property in the community."
"The above shall include, but are not limited to, posts on social media or reposts of posts made by another individual on social media," the court brief states.
Among the charges the warrant mentions are a violation of Georgia's RICO Act, six counts of conspiracy, one count of producing false documents, three counts of criminal incitement and two counts of false statements.
The Georgia case represents Trump's fourth criminal indictment this year, but none of the previous instances had imposed bail on the Republican.
