shaking things up by hiring a new attorney, just hours before his surrender here at the jail. tonight, former president trump joins 11 of his fellow codefendants, booked, fingerprinted, and photographed. while the former president is expected to be processed in less than an hour, he is being treated just like any other criminal defendant at the fulton county jail, which is under investigation by the department of justice for poor conditions after several inmate deaths. outside the jail, protesters stood by their man buttes people he can run this country from jail, i wouldn t care, still vote for him. still vote for him? absolutely. reporter: trump s bond was set at $200,000. he is charged with 13 codes chemically racketeering, criminal conspiracy, making false statements for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election in georgia, stemming from this calh secretary of state brad raffensperger. i just want to find 11,780 votes. reporter: former
plus, get a free samsung galaxy z flip5. only on verizon. at this moment president trump is preparing to fly from new jersey to atlanta, where he will surrender on charges in that georgia election subversion case. mr. trump will be booked at the fulton county jail. it s a jail known for rather deplorable conditions, including inmate deaths and excessive force and a prison population that is more than double the amount it was designed to hold.
as we await the former president and others who turn themselves in, yes, this is a jail that is under doj investigation. a jail where they ve seen sechbl inmate deaths this year. where they have issues with overcrowding, bedbugs, you know, according to one report, shanks being fashioned out of the crumbling building. now, it s a poor mistake that it is highly unlikely that the former president will spend any time inside that building once he s processed. typically, if someone were to be processed, just a normal person, that could take upwards of 12 hours. getting in, booking, if they make bail. now, certainly that process is going to be expedited for the former president. when you ask what preparations look like, i m told they re still underway. plans have not been finalized yet, including which day this will take place. whether it s thursday or friday. but the other questions of course, what will that expedited process look like and what way is he going to enter the jail.
reputation. that s right. it s not really a place you want to have to visit where trump and these other defendants are expected to turn themselves in. it s the subject of a federal civil rights investigation. there have been a number of inmate deaths there including a death where an inmate was covered in filth, covered in lice, and that s what setoff this federal investigation. if you re a normal defendant and showing up there to be processed it s possible you re sitting there lingering and waiting for hours and hours. obviously we don t expect that to happen to former president donald trump. but this is a difficult place. even the sheriff who of course oversees this jail has said he needs more money, he needs more help. he welcomes this outside review in order to get this jail up to standards. sara murray, thank as always for your terrific reporting. it s going to be a busy week next week. let s get more on trump s multiple indictments with the former d.c. echief of homeland intel
