Former President Donald Trump has agreed to a $200,000 bond in a Georgia criminal case that charges him with attempting to illegally overturn the 2020 presidential election results in the state. John Eastman, the attorney who advocated for various extralegal schemes for Trump to stay in power after losing the 2020 election, also agreed to a $100,000 bond on Monday. The bond agreement includes a prohibition on intimidating any of the 18 co-defendants, any witnesses, victims, or “the community or to any property in the community.” This is the first criminal case against a former president, and is seen as a victory for the prosecution, as it ensures that Trump will not be able to interfere with the case.
