Georgia Trump updates August 25 | All defendants booked

After former President Donald Trump was booked Thursday night, five others turned themselves in overnight.

ATLANTA — Former President Donald Trump has been booked and released from the Fulton County Jail Thursday evening, a remarkable political moment that put the eyes of the world on Atlanta.

Afterward, once Trump departed after his minutes-long jail stay and a calm set in overnight, several more defendants turned themselves in.

Two more, Trevian Kutti and Stephen Lee, came through in the mid-morning Friday. That means all 19 co-defendants surrendered at the Fulton County Jail. Additionally, Harrison Floyd is the only one of the defendants to remain in jail after he turned himself in without a bond order already in place.

Floyd was set to go before a judge at 11 a.m. on Friday. Whether he might get a bond was unclear.

At the end of a whirlwind week in Atlanta, 11Alive will continue to track news as it comes in throughout Friday.

Friday, August 25 | Georgia Trump case updates

7:25 p.m.

A federal judge has set a hearing for Georgia Sen. Shawn Still for his motion to move his case to federal court. Records show Still's hearing is set for Sept. 18 at 2 p.m.

A superior court judge denied "Black Voices for Trump" leader Harrison Floyd bond in a Friday late-afternoon hearing.

Harrison, who appeared virtually for the hearing, is the only co-defendant in the Georgia election RICO case who is still in jail, as he did not negotiate bond details ahead of time.

Sidney Powell, one of former President Trump's lead legal representatives who is also facing charges herself in the RICO indictment, has filed a motion requesting a speedy trial.

Accused fake elector Cathy Latham, who is also seen on video escorting Trump operatives inside the Coffee County Elections office, has filed a motion to move her case to federal court, citing that the "State lacks jurisdiction to prosecute an elector for the U.S. Electoral College for conduct in relation to an election for President of the United States."

David Shafer also filed a similar motion with a similar argument. A judge has not yet ruled on that request, either.

Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis has filed a notice of discovery, requesting attorneys for each defendant to provide a USB drive at least 2 terabytes large enough for copying the initial batch of discovery by Tuesday, Sept. 5.

12:34 p.m.

All 19 mugshots of the defendants in the case have been released by the Fulton County Sheriff's Office.

12:18 p.m.

A new filing has dropped in the request for Mark Meadows' to move his case. At issue: whether or not the former White House Chief of Staff was working in his federal capacity during the actions he's accused of taking. His attorneys say he was not a political operative, he was a government employee, so therefore case must move.

Meadows has a hearing in Federal Court that is set for 10 a.m. Monday.

11:00 a.m.

Records show Stephen Lee has now turned himself in. That's all 19.

Records now show Trevian Kutti has been booked at Fulton County Jail. That leaves Stephen Lee as the last defendant to be processed ahead of DA Fani Willis' noon deadline.

In addition to Roman and Still, three others turned themselves in overnight in the case - Robert Cheeley, Misty Hampton and former DOJ official Jeffrey Clark.

Clark had tried to avoid arrest, making filings in federal court to try to preempt it.

That leaves just Trevian Kutti and Stephen Lee who have yet to do so. The deadline is noon today.

12:47 a.m.

Director of Election Day operations on Trump's 2020 campaign Michael Roman has been booked into the Fulton County Jail, according to records.

12:44 a.m.

Georgia Sen. Shawn Still has now been booked in to the Fulton County Jail, records show.

Photos: President Donald Trump surrenders to Fulton County Jail

Former President Donald Trump was able to arrange to quickly be released from the Fulton County Jail after working with Foster Bail Bonds LLC. in Lawrenceville. The owner of the bonds company told 11Alive's Doug Richards that Trump's attorneys called him more than a week ago in order to start making arrangements-- not only for Trump's bond but also for the bond for most of the co-defendants.

Susan Barikos, office manager for the bonds company, said they paid a certain percentage of the bond to post it.

"That payment was collected-- in advance of him (Trump) turning himself in to the jail," Barikos added.

Wednesday, August 23 Georgia Trump case updates

A federal judge has denied Meadows' motion to move his case to federal court. He must turn himself in, court records read.

Meadows has still not negotiated a consent bond.

Former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark's efforts to remove his case to federal court hit a roadblock Wednesday afternoon. In a signed order, Judge Steve C. Jones denied Clark's motion seeking an "Emergency Stay" -- effectively an immediate pause -- of Clark's obligations to comply with the Fulton County case proceedings. The decision comes just ahead of the noon Friday deadline for all named defendants to surrender to Fulton County authorities.

Clark was among three co-defendants requesting to have their cases in the Georgia 2020 election RICO case moved to federal court. In a Wednesday filing, Clark's request was denied.

Fulton County DA Fani Willis has filed a motion opposing Meadows' "baseless" request to move his case to the federal level.

Willis asks the court to dismiss Meadows' emergency motion, citing that "the hardship facing the defendant is no different than any other criminal defendant charged with a crime," adding many of Meadows' co-defendants have already surrendered to Fulton County authorities.

Sidney Powell and Jenna Ellis also turned themselves in and were booked at the Fulton County Jail, records show and the sheriff's office says.

The 11Alive SkyTracker saw Rudy Giuliani leaving A Second Chance Bail Bonds on Glass Street.

The Fulton County Sheriff's Office noted earlier that mug shots would be released at 4 p.m. daily, but it's unclear if Giuliani's will be coming today after they already sent out four - Giuliani not among them - a little after 3:30 p.m.

Giuliani is currently speaking outside the Fulton County Jail.

Just before 11 p.m. Tuesday night, the Fulton County Sheriff's Office shared the booking photos for John Eastman and Scott Hall, the first two co-defendants to surrender to authorities in the sweeping Georgia election interference RICO case.

John Eastman

Eastman is an attorney who allegedly helped formulate the legal theory arguing that Trump could remain in power if then-Vice President Mike Pence overturned the results of the election.

Scott Hall

Hall, Atlanta area bail bondsman was indicted in the election RICO case for his connection to the alleged breach of election systems data in Coffee County in early 2021.

MARTA routes 1 and 26 will be rerouted on Thursday ahead of former President Trump's booking at the Fulton County Jail.

Bond has been set for Robert Cheeley for $50,000. A Georgia lawyer, Robert Cheeley presented video clips to legislators of election workers at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta and alleged the workers were counting votes twice or sometimes three times. He spoke to the lawmakers after Giuliani.

Bond has been set for Stephen Cliffgard Lee for $75,000. Prosecutors say Cliffgard Lee, a pastor, worked with others to try to pressure Georgia election worker Ruby Freeman and her mother after Trump and his allies falsely accused them of pulling fraudulent ballots from a suitcase during the vote count. Lee allegedly knocked on Freeman’s door, frightening her and causing her to call 911 three times, prosecutors said in a court filing last year.

Mark Meadows is now seeking a federal order that would prevent his needing to come to Atlanta and surrender at the Fulton County Jail, similar to what Jeffrey Clark is seeking.

Jeffrey Clark, the former DOJ official who's trying to have his case moved to federal court, had asked for a 5 p.m. decision on his secondary request for a stay against Fulton County (basically, he wants his case paused, and to not have to come to Atlanta and be booked at Fulton County Jail, until a determination on his motion to move the case to federal court).

It doesn't appear he will get one though, as an order issued by the federal judge overseeing that issue, Steve Jones, has given DA Fani Willis until 3 p.m. tomorrow to submit her response to Clark's motion.

12:45 p.m.

We now have confirmation on a legal wrinkle that's been somewhat up in the air: The defendants with a pre-arranged consent bond in this case will not have a first appearance hearing, the first step in the Georgia legal process. The first time we expect to see them in court will be for an arraignment in Superior Court.

11:47 a.m.

"My legal team and I will vigorously contest every count of the indictment in which I have been named and also every count in which others are named, for which my knowledge of the relevant facts, law, and constitutional provisions may prove helpful"

Those were the works John Eastman gave to reporters outside the Fulton County Jail on Tuesday after turning himself in.

When subsequently asked by a reporter if he still believed the 2020 election was stolen, Eastman replied "absolutely...no question."

11:40 a.m.

Former Georgia Republican Party chairman David Shafer has entered into a consent order for a $75,000 bond. Shafer is charged for his alleged role in organizing the "alternate" elector scheme to submit illegitimate Electoral College votes on behalf of Trump despite his loss in Georgia.

Shafer and the 15 other would-be electors have largely maintained they were acting as a legitimate contingency in the event any of Trump's lawsuits to reverse his loss succeeded.

11:20 a.m.

11Alive's Nick Wooten caught Tom Bever, the attorney for Shawn Still, at the courthouse and was able to ask him a couple questions about the state senator's case.

10:55 a.m.

Shawn Still, the Georgia state senator who was among the 16 "alternate" electors, is the fifth to enter into a consent order for bond. His bond is set at $10,000.

Still was the finance chairman for the state GOP in 2020 and served as a Georgia delegate to the Republican National Convention that year. He was elected to the Georgia state Senate in November 2022 and represents a district in Atlanta’s suburbs.

His charges include violation of RICO, impersonating a public officer, forgery in the first degree (two counts), false statements and writings (two counts) and filing false documents.

10:25 a.m.

John Eastman is the second of the 19 co-defendants now to turn himself in, records show.

Eastman is an attorney who allegedly helped formulate the legal theory arguing that Trump could remain in power if then-Vice President Mike Pence overturned the results of the election during a joint session of Congress where electoral votes would be counted.

Atlanta area bail bondsman Scott Hall, indicted in the election RICO case for his connection to the alleged breach of election systems data in Coffee County, in south Georgia in early 2021, is the first of the 19 co-defendants to have turned himself in at the Fulton County Jail, according to booking records.

Hall's bond was set at $10,000, according to court documents. He faces seven charges: One count of violation of Georgia RICO Act, and six counts of criminal conspiracy.

Also charged in the Coffee County scheme were Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, former county GOP chair Cathy Latham and former county elections supervisor Misty Hampton.
