Trump's 20 minutes inside the Fulton County Jail is extremely unusual for people who are arrested here.

Even in the election interference case, it's unusual. Timing has ranged from under an hour for Giuliani to about 90 minutes for lawyer John Eastman. The process for a former president, however, was expected to be expedited.

Now that he has been released from custody, Trump will need to be arraigned later. Booking and arraignment in criminal cases operate separately in Fulton County. The sheriff’s office noted last week that some arraignments may be virtual, as dictated by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee.

In the meantime, Trump has been barred from doing anything a judge might view as an effort to intimidate co-defendants and witnesses or otherwise obstruct the administration of justice in the case.

The parties will put forward proposals for a trial date. Willis initially proposed a March 4 trial date, preceded by arraignments the week of Sept. 5. She moved that timeline up to Oct. 23 in a filing today. Trump has said he intends to file a motion to sever his case from those of any co-defendants demanding a speedy trial.

Republican members of Congress warned that the criminal justice system will be used to target candidates of both parties going forward following Trump’s surrender tonight.

“Those who decided to start using indictments, prosecutors & even mug shots as weapons in a political campaign have unleashed a destructive new era in American politics,” Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., wrote in a post to X.

Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, the House Republican Conference Chair, said Biden “continues to illegally weaponize the government” against Trump, “his top political opponent for the White House."

Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, who has endorsed Trump in 2024, posted on X that Willis’ actions “have set a very dangerous precedent in our nation.”

“Americans can see right through this sham indictment,” she said.

Trump's motorcade has left the Fulton County Jail. It had arrived at around 7:34 p.m. ET and left just over 20 minutes later.

The Fulton County Sheriff's Office took a mug shot of Trump when he was booked, according to a source familiar with the matter.

The photo has not been released yet.

The Fulton County Jail, where Trump is being booked tonight, has a long history of poor living conditions and violence.

The jail, which is near downtown Atlanta, has housed roughly 3,200 people over the last year. Sheriff Pat Labat has been outspoken about overcrowding at the largest jail in the Southeast.

In the last few weeks alone, several inmates have died, including a 40-year-old man who was found unresponsive in his cell and another man, 66, who was also found unresponsive in a medical unit cell.

Last month, the Justice Department announced it had opened a civil investigation into the conditions at the jail after officials said they had heard "credible allegations that an incarcerated person died covered in insects and filth, that the Fulton County Jail is structurally unsafe, that prevalent violence has resulted in serious injuries and homicides, and that officers are being prosecuted for using excessive force."

Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement that there were "unsafe, unsanitary living conditions at the jail, excessive force and violence within the jail, discrimination against incarcerated individuals with mental health issues, and failure to provide adequate medical care to incarcerated individuals."

Trump surrendered at the Fulton County Jail, where he will be booked and processed on charges of racketeering and conspiracy in relation to his effort to overturn the 2020 election.

Trump is accused of overseeing a multifaceted effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election and retain presidential power after his defeat, including in key states like Georgia. Trump has denied all wrongdoing and insists that prosecutions are politically motivated.

A bonding agent at Foster Bail Bonds in Lawrenceville, Georgia, confirmed that Trump used its services to post his bond ahead of his arrest in Georgia today.

Typically, the fee in Fulton County is 10%, said Lia Dean, the bonding agent, but she said she could not confirm the exact amount posted in this case.

Dean said Charles Shaw, the CEO of Foster Bail Bonds, is inside the Fulton County Jail, where Trump is set to arrive tonight.

Dean said that Foster has other clients/defendants from the same case, but she would not confirm specific names.

She said it has also had celebrity clients, including T-I, Rick Ross, Gucci Mane and Claud McIver, known as Tex McIver.
