Donald Trump’s bail was set at $200,000 in the process taking place in Georgia, where the former president is accused of manipulating the election results in that US state, according to court documents released Monday.
The bail agreement, set out in a document signed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Trump’s defense attorneys, also prohibits Trump from intimidating other defendants, witnesses or victims involved in the case, including in the social networks.
The order states that Trump may not make “direct or indirect threats of any kind” against witnesses or other defendants.
And it explicitly includes “social media posts or reposts of posts made by someone else on social media.”
The Republican magnate is also prohibited from communicating in any way about the case with any co-defendants or witnesses, except through attorneys.
Willis set a deadline of noon Friday (5:00 p.m. in Lisbon) for Trump and the 18 remaining defendants to turn themselves in at the Fulton County Jail for notification.
The prosecutor proposed that the defendants be read in the week of September 5 and that the case go to trial in March.
Trump is accused of attempting to cause fraud in the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state of Georgia, following investigations, led by prosecutor Fani Willis, that lasted more than two years.
The former president faces 13 charges, including violation of an anti-corruption law that, if confirmed, carries a prison sentence.
Also among the defendants are his former personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, as well as his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows.
Trump had already received four charges for trying to reverse the result of the 2020 presidential election, and in that process, special counsel Jack Smith proposed the start of the trial for January 2024, a few days before the start of the Republican primaries.
In New York, Donald Trump faces 34 counts of falsifying business documents in a case involving pornographic actress Stormy Daniels, with whom the former president had an affair in 2006, and is expected to appear in court on March 25.
In Florida, the Republican faces 40 counts of theft and withholding of confidential documents and is due in court on May 20, a few months before the 2024 presidential election.
The former head of state has denounced a “witch hunt” to prevent him from carrying out his presidential campaign and has defended that these processes should be carried out after the elections.
