00:00 This is the Fulton County Jail where Donald Trump says he will surrender to police on Thursday, a criminal defendant for the fourth time.
00:08 On a social media platform, Truth Social, the former U.S. president posting, "Can you believe it?
00:13 I'll be going to Atlanta, Georgia on Thursday to be arrested by a radical left district attorney, Fonny Willis,
00:20 who's overseeing one of the greatest murder and violent crime disasters in American history.
00:26 In my case, the trip to Atlanta is not for murder but for making a perfect phone call."
00:31 "The indictment brings felony charges against..."
00:34 Again, Trump taking aim at prosecutor Fonny Willis and Atlanta, which has actually seen a decrease in its murder rate,
00:42 and referring to a phone call, a key piece of evidence in the case,
00:45 in which Trump tells Georgia's Republican Secretary of State to find the necessary votes to reverse his 2020 loss against Joe Biden.
00:55 "All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes."
01:05 The judge has set Trump's bond at $200,000, and in the bond agreement signed by his attorneys,
01:11 the former president is barred from talking to his co-defendants and threatening witnesses,
01:17 and instructed to make no direct or indirect threat of any nature against the community,
01:22 including posts on social media or reposts of posts made by another individual.
01:29 It's a requirement not placed on other defendants in the case,
01:32 and should prove to be a real test for Trump, who is not known for his restraint.
01:38 "Will his lawyers in good faith be able to say our client will not intimidate witnesses?
01:42 They're going to have to say that for him to get bail."
01:45 The former president now faces prosecution in four criminal cases,
01:50 and the trials are on a collision course with the 2024 campaign.
01:54 Trump remains the leading candidate in the Republican field.
