for a judge to sign off on your bond terms to go through the rigmarole of conditions of release to have you sitting there longer like you would for every other defendant and not just this fulton county 19 to pre-negotiate terms and you want in the interest of court, and efficiency have the opportunity to do so. fact that he has not yet done so enters a kind of general population of those who might have court appointed attorneys, who might not have had the opportunity to negotiate in advance and are now in a line of people and i expect there to be some delays in hearing that and for the very reasons that you are intimating that this is a former mayor, former prosecutor who knows rico and knows the law quite well, knows federal law quite well in spite of what we have been seeing and perhaps he feels he is best positioned to negotiate the terms of what he would like to do and are we maybe getting a preview of a pro
paula, it s a little bit different than the other defendants so far. giuliani is planning to work out his bond terms and surrender all in one day. that s right, brianna. a source tells me he wants to get this all done today before form are president trump comes to town tomorrow. right now we ve learned that jul rudy giuliani is huddled in the courthouse behind me. once the bond agreement is in place, then giuliani can surrender. the process will involve fingerprinting and a mug shot, considering a he was one of the most powerful law enforcement officials in this country when he was serving as a u.s. owner
closely about how the court responds to trump as a criminal defendant as he continues to post on social media. we did just see him post last night that he was going to turn himself into authorities to be arrested here on thursday. we know john eastman, another one of the defendants in this case that has negotiated his bond terms. he ll be turning himself in on wednesday. the action is going to continue here for a little bit longer at the courthouse as these bond terms are negotiated among all 19 defendants. and then move over to the jail where those arrests take place. what about in the federal probe over a lot of the same issues we re dealing with in georgia, attempts to subvert the election. jack smith pushing back, the special counsel, pretty hard against trump s team. look, we want until 2026 to hold this thing. reporter: poppy, don t forget that donald trump has other criminal cases. we should not forget that at all because those other cases are keeping moving forward. so what
