More Trump co-defendants are surrendering in the Fulton County case ahead of the Friday deadline.
Several more defendants charged in Georgia for alleged efforts to reverse the outcome of the state’s 2020 election to keep former President Donald Trump in power have turned themselves in to authorities in Fulton County, ahead of a Friday deadline to surrender voluntarily.
At least nine of the 19 people facing charges have now appeared at the Fulton County jail to be booked.

All of those who surrendered were released on bond.
None of the 19 have yet entered pleas since the arraignment process is separate from the booking process in Georgia.
Trump, who has denied all wrongdoing, said Monday night that he will turn himself in on Thursday, and has agreed to a $200,000 bond.
A Fulton County grand jury returned a 41-count indictment last week, accusing Trump and 18 others of participating in a “criminal enterprise,” that aimed to reverse the former president’s electoral loss in Georgia.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is leading the investigation, gave those charged until noon Friday to surrender to authorities.

Scott Hall, a Georgia bail bondsman, faces seven counts. He agreed to a $10,000 bond, while John Eastman, a conservative lawyer, is charged with nine counts. His bond was set at $100,000.
