Were looking at a critical week ahead for donald trump. The republican president ial candidates and american democracy. Former president Donald Trumps 18 codefendants are required to surrender to a Fulton County jail to face charges of attempting to overturn the 2020 election in georgia. Nbc news reports that the former president will not appear before thursday, Fulton County District Attorney fani willis, who gave the defendants a deadline of noon on friday august 25th. But they could turn themselves in at any time before them. So they also tell nbc news that trump is officially skipping the republican president ial primary debate on wednesday, and instead hes apparently seeking an interview with tucker carlson.
