When will Trump surrender? Trump confirmed on Truth Social he intends to go to Georgia on Thursday to surrender himself, with the Guardian reporting he may surrender in the evening so that it can air during prime time; he and the other co-defendants in
the case are required to surrender to authorities by noon on Friday, August 25.
Where will it take place? Trump will be booked at the Fulton County jail on Rice Street, which is known for having particularly poor conditions, with the Justice Department launching a civil rights investigation into the facility in July.
What will happen once he turns himself in? The terms of Trump’s surrender are reportedly still being negotiated; typically defendants who get booked at the jail are searched, undergo a medical screening, get fingerprinted and a mug shot, though CNN
notes it’s unclear if Trump would undergo the same process.
Will he get a mug shot? The Fulton County sheriff has suggested Trump will get a mug shot as other defendants at the prison do, saying he would follow “normal practices” unless told otherwise, and other co-defendants in the case—including Rudy
Giuliani and Sidney Powell—have had their mug shots taken upon turning themselves in.
