Former U.S. President Donald Trump plans to surrender on Thursday in Atlanta in connection with his indictment in Georgia on charges he sought to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state, he said on social media on Monday.
"I'll be going to Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday to be ARRESTED," Trump, who is running for re-election in 2024, said on his Truth Social platform. He described the indictment as a politically motivated effort to derail his re-election campaign.
CNN earlier reported that Trump planned to turn himself in at the Fulton County jail in Atlanta on Thursday. The date was set during negotiations between Trump's lawyers and the Fulton County district attorney's office on Monday over Trump's consent bond and release conditions, according to CNN.
