Former President Donald Trump turned himself in at the Fulton County jail Thursday on charges that he attempted to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
Trump and 18 others were charged earlier this month with participating in a “conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump,” the indictment states. He is facing 13 felony charges, including racketeering and conspiracy.
The former President's booking process took about 20 minutes and included a mugshot. According to the Fulton County booking system, Trump is 215 pounds, 6' 3" and has blue eyes as well as “blonde or strawberry” hair. However, The Hill said that Trump apparently self reported his weight.
In a statement made to the press, Trump called the situation "A travesty of justice," claiming, "I did nothing wrong...everyone knows it."

Trump’s bond is set at $200,000. As part of his bond conditions, he’s prohibited from intimidating or making social media threats against his co-defendants and witnesses in the case.
Authorities are currently investigating threats made against members of the Fulton County grand jurors who indicted Trump. The Fulton County sheriff and district attorney have also received threats throughout the case.
In total, Trump has been charged with 91 felony counts in four separate indictments this year. He’s facing 34 counts in Manhattan over his hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels, 40 in Florida regarding his handling of classified documents, and four in Washington, D.C. also related to his attempts to overturn the election.
Trump’s former attorney John Eastman surrendered Wednesday on charges stemming from the Georgia indictment. Eastman, the former dean of Chapman University Law School in Orange, maintained that he still believes the 2020 election was stolen.
