ATLANTA, US - AUG. 24, 2023: Former US President Donald Trump turned himself in to authorities in Fulton County, Georgia on Thursday (Aug. 24) to be booked on charges tied to alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state.He was released on a $200,000 bond minutes after he was booked at the Fulton County Jail, where he was fingerprinted and had a mugshot taken.Noting that it was a "very sad day for America,” he told reporters at Atlanta’s airport that his arrest was an example of "election interference.”"What has taken place here is a travesty of justice. We did nothing wrong. I did nothing wrong, and everybody knows that I've never had such support," he said."We have every right, every single right to challenge an election that we think is dishonest," he said before boarding his ‘Trump Force One’ jet.Trump faces 13 criminal counts, including violations of the Georgia state RICO Act, solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer, conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer and conspiracy to commit false statements.Trump, like 18 other individuals indicted by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis earlier this month, faced a Friday deadline to surrender or be served with an arrest warrant.Former Trump attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell turned themselves in on Wednesday.All of the co-defendants are accused of being part of a criminal conspiracy that sought to illegally manipulate Georgia and other states' election results with the intent of keeping Trump in power.(Footage by Stringer /Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
