Scott Hall, one of the 19 people accused - along with former President Donald Trump - for alleged interference in the results of the 2020 presidential elections in Georgia, pleaded guilty this Friday to the charges against him.

Hall is the first of the defendants to plead guilty in the case taking place in Fulton County, Georgia. As a live video from the court showed Hall, 59, pleading guilty to five minor charges as part of a plea agreement that his lawyers had negotiated with the prosecutor's office led by the controversial district attorney Fani Willis.

Hall pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy to commit election fraud, conspiracy to commit computer theft, conspiracy to commit computer trespass, conspiracy to commit computer invasion of privacy, and conspiracy to defraud the state of Georgia.

Under the terms of the agreement, Hall will also have to write a letter of apology to the state of Georgia for his conduct, pay a $5,000 fine, complete 200 hours of community service and provide prosecutors with a recorded statement, which he has already done. The prosecutor's office may also ask him to testify against other defendants in the case.
