has going on here. carol, what s your reaction to this trial date? what does setting march 4th as a date mean for all the rest of trump s trials? this is such an important piece of the puzzle to have in place. now that we have the march 4th trial date for this election interference indictment brought by jack smith against only donald trump at this point in time, it s very important because i think the other cases are going to end up essentially deferring to this trial. i think that s sort of an unspoken understanding. fani willis indicted this very broad case involving 19 defendants including the former president. it s very broad and it overlaps a lot with jack smith s case, but there are 19 defendants. fani willis, there are good reasons for doing what she did. she believed there was widespread fraud in fulton county and charged the broad case.
i want to bring in nbc s vaughn hillyard live in atlanta. nbc s dasha burns is in milwaukee, and carol lamb is a former federal prosecutor and msnbc legal analyst, so vaughn, it s already been a busy day. what have we seen and heard? reporter: number five and six, the defendants have now gone into the fulton county jail to officially surrender and go through their booking process. that would include the likes of kenneth chesebro, one of trump s attorneys, one that is alleged in the georgia indictment to have come up with the fake elector scheme and put it into action in multiple states including in georgia, as well as ray smith iii, who is the attorney in georgia who represented the trump campaign in multiple lawsuits on their behalf in the state of georgia. you said the name number 7. rudy giuliani is in georgia, flew from new york to atlanta here this morning.
surrender on thursday, a day after the party s presidential debate, an event he says he won t attend. trump s bond has been set at $200,000. and it includes an explicit and unique warning, quote, the defendant shall perform no act to intimidate any person known to him or her to be a co-defendant or witness in this case or to otherwise obstruct the administration of justice. let s go to atlanta and nbc s blayne alexander, also with us former federal prosecutors carol lamb and former senior investigative counsel for the january 6th house committee and partner at salengi, gay, elsburg. tell us about john eastman and scott hall. sure. so, this was our first surrender we have seen in this sprawling rico case in fulton county. scott hall was booked in some time between late last night and early this morning. in fact, at last check, and i
conduct, not speech. no. it s criminalizing speech for this reason. what the president saw in the 2020 election is all these irregularities going on, affidavits, examples of when the rules were changed in the middle of the game. he had every right to comment on that. in a criminal case, what he would have to show is all that speech was not entitled to first amendment protection. i want to bring in ken dilanian. garrett haake is following the case from d.c. carol lamb, a former federal prosecutor and andrew weissmann was a senior member of the mueller probe. both carol and andrew are msnbc legal analysts. ken, give us an example of what we ve been able to glean from this indictment and how it sets the stage for tomorrow s indictment. reporter: chris, in many ways it s an incredibly detailed, thorough narrative. but in other ways it s quite a narrowly focused legal case when
