Trump Co-Defendant Agrees to ‘Testify Truthfully’ in Georgia Plea Deal

Scott Hall — one of the 18 co-defendants charged alongside Donald Trump for allegedly working to overturn the results of Georgia’s 2020 presidential election — pleaded guilty on Friday.

Hall is the first individual charged in any of the four criminal indictments against Trump to plead guilty. He was indicted last month in the Fulton County, Georgia, RICO case against the former president and his allies for allegedly participating in the scheme to breach voting equipment in Coffee County.

Hall appeared in Fulton County court on Friday, where he pleaded guilty to five misdemeanor charges related to the effort. He accepted a sentence of five years probation, a $5,000 fine, and 200 hours of community service, and agreed to “testify truthfully” in future court proceedings pertaining to the case, including at the “trials of any co-defendants that is listed on the original indictment in which you were charged.”

Trump pleaded not guilty last month to the 13 criminal counts brought against him in Georgia.
