WASHINGTON — Nine of the 19 people charged for allegedly conspiring to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia have surrendered at the state’s notorious Fulton County Jail, known for its poor conditions.

The deadline for all the defendants, including former President Donald Trump, to surrender is Friday at noon. Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat's office announced last week that the jail is open 24 hours a day, and the people charged in a sweeping indictment earlier this month can turn themselves in at any time.

The nine defendants who surrendered had their "mugshots" taken and were released on bonds. They include prominent Trump allies such as Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman, along with others who were part of the alleged scheme.

Labat told CNN that unless other authorities tell him differently, they will be following their normal practices − as if any other person was facing charges. Trump is expected to surrender on Thursday and has agreed to a $200,000 bond.

Here’s a look at the defendants who have turned themselves in to Georgia authorities.

Rudy Giuliani

Rudy Giuliani is a former Trump lawyer and former New York City mayor. He allegedly made false statements about election fraud to Georgia state legislators after the 2020 election in an attempt to convince them to appoint a slate of fake electors supporting the former president.

He faces 13 charges, including violation of Georgia's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations, or RICO, Act and solicitation of violation of oath by public officer.

"This indictment is a travesty," Giuliani said outside the Fulton County jail after he was booked Wednesday. "It’s an attack not just on me, not just on President Trump, this is an attack on the American people."

Giuliani was released pending trial on $150,000 bond, of which he had to post 10%.

Jenna Ellis
