have to look it up as well from time to time to remind ourselves who the players were. let s talk about something that is easy not to confuse. donald trump. the bond terms for him are pretty strict about what he can and cannot say especially regarding witnesses. we ve seen him has he crossed the line on anything so far, or has he towed up oig up to the? and could he face actual consequences if he crosses the line? we don t know much about the judge here. the judge here scott mcafee has done nothing other than sign consent bond orders so far. on the other hand, i do think that the terms of his release here are more explicit than they are in the federal case. and not only are they more explicit, but in some respects they are a little more ambiguous. donald trump can t take any act that would not only intimidate a witness or a co-defendant, but
kathy latham, $75,000. scott hall $10,000. i think it is sbrings you are reporting these were sort of the amounts, take it or leave it. notable, tamara, only donald trump had a consent order that included so many specific stipulations about not intimidating witnesses. do you have any sense of i mean it seems pretty obvious where that came from but any sense to how it was received? reporter: well, not intimidating witnesses thing is a pretty common language and you see it across many of the bond orders. but what is unusual for him is the specific language about social media usage, not lambasting the community and folks involved. that seems to be very specific to donald trump. that s right. those grand jurors are already receiving a lot of threats online. we need all of you to stick around a little longer through a break. when we all come back, more on the goings on out of fulton county and the legal reckoning for many of the key players in
witness, and how is this different than the protective orders in the federal cases and in the new york hush-money case? it s the most specific case we have seen in one of these bond orders. judges in other cases admonished trump or his lawyers verbally not to threaten witnesses or codefendants, and this is in writing. i think that s notable. as you said, it s worth reading. the defendant shall make no direct or indirect threat of any nature against witnesses, victims, any member of the community. the above shall include but not limited to posts on social media or reposts of others on social media, and that is that putting trump in a box as he continues to post inflammatory things on truth social. it lays down a marker and the question becomes what is the
that, and it s several agreements, including not to talk about the case with the defendant unless in the presence of counsel, not to discuss with witnesses and not to attempt to intimidate witnesses. i doubt there s much john eastman could do to intimidate a witness in this case. the consent bond orders are instructive. i think it s fair to assume that donald trump s will look similar in some areas, especially on those questions of how he conducts himself with other witnesses, or excuse me, with other defendants, and how he handles the possibility of intimidating or influencing witnesses. something we know he tried to do in this case on the day the grand jury voted when he posted about georgia s lieutenant governor, telling him not to go testify. let s bring in blayne alexander, our correspondent from the courthouse for us. blayne, it s good to have you. do we have any idea when everybody is going to show up? usually by this time, at least with the president, we have an idea, former
community. now, that does include any posts or reposts that might be made on social media. now, this is also notable because that language was not included in bond orders for at least four other defendants that were made public today. now, to cbear, mr. trump has not yet turned himself in. we saw his lawyers leaving the courthouse after meeting with the a. sd.eam. when i asked, they would not tell me when the former president plans to come to the fulton county jail for processing. remember, lester, he has until noon on friday to do so. lester? byne laexander, thank you. just two days be re the first republican primary debate, which mr. trump plans to skip, our new nbc news polling fds tint he holds a commanding lead among potential caucusgoers in iowa. kristen welker is there for us tonight. reporter: with just under five months until iowans have their say, we came here to get a new snapshot of the republican race. we need a person that can unite the nation. i think i can mak
