First mugshots released in Trump’s Georgia election case

Fulton County officials have released the first two booking photos of defendants charged in Donald Trump’s election interference case in Georgia.

John Eastman, a lawyer whose fringe theories were at the center of Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, turned himself in Tuesday and was released on $100,000 bail.

Later that evening, the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office released his picture:

Also on Tuesday, bail bond administrator Scott Hall turned himself in after being charged with his alleged involvement in the voting machine glitch in Coffee County, Georgia.

He was released on $10,000 bail and the sheriff’s office released this photo:

Trump is expected to surrender Thursday at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta.

The former president has not been photographed at his previous three indictments, but that is expected to change this week. Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat said there will be no special treatment for the former president.

“It doesn’t matter what your status is, we have a mugshot ready for you,” Labat told reporters earlier this month.

Nineteen people, including Trump, have been charged in the Georgia case and have until Friday to surrender.

The indictment, based on an investigation led by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, alleges Trump and the co-defendants violated state law by engaging in a widely publicized plot to destroy the 2020 presidential election in Georgia and to tip elsewhere.
