Donald Trump’s former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows agreed to $100,000 bond in the Georgia criminal case accusing him of conspiring to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election.
Meadows, who was at Trump’s side for weeks as he took steps to reverse his defeat by Joe Biden, reached the deal Thursday as he faces an Aug. 25 deadline to turn himself in for booking at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta.
Meadows is the latest of the 19 defendants to reach a bond agreement after the indictment was brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who alleges they violated Georgia’s racketeering law and other statutes by conspiring to keep Trump in office. Trump reached a $200,000 bond agreement and said he’d turn himself in Thursday. Longtime Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, another defendant, agreed to a $150,000 bond and turned himself in Aug. 23.
Meadows’s bond deal comes after a federal judge on Aug. 23 denied his request for an order barring Willis from seeking his arrest if he failed to turn himself in. Meadows had argued that he shouldn’t be subject to arrest by state authorities while he seeks to move his case to federal court. A hearing on that request is set for Monday in federal court in Atlanta.
