Ex-US pres. surrenders to Georgia jail

Former US President Donald Trump has voluntarily surrendered to the Fulton County jail in Georgia for the fourth criminal case brought against him since April.

Trump arrived in Atlanta late Thursday to surrender on 13 charges that he was part of an illegal conspiracy to change the 2020 election results in Georgia.

When Trump arrives at the Fulton County Jail, it is expected that he will have to take a mug shot. This would be a first for a former American president.

Trump gave brief remarks before boarding his plane Thursday night calling his arrest “a very sad day for America.” Trump repeated numerous gripes, including that he had a “right to challenge an election.” “What is taking place here is a travesty of justice. We did nothing wrong. I did nothing wrong,” he said
