The total $200,000 is made up of bail for each of the 13 counts Trump has been charged with by Georgia prosecutors, including $80,000 for allegedly breaking the Georgia anti-racketeering law and $10,000 for each of the remaining 12 counts, according to the court filing. Trump is also ordered not to make any threats to any codefendant or victims, among others.Signed by Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, the order was agreed to by Trump shortly after fellow members of his legal team were seen at the Fulton County Courthouse just after 2 p.m. local time.Media reports have indicated that while other defendant had agreed to bond packages with officials, Trump was only defendant whose order was also signed off on by Fulton County DA Fani Willis.However, he revealed via social media that he would be turning himself in to be formally 'arrested' over the case on Thursday, one day before the deadline. Trump reiterated he'd be surrendering for simply "making the perfect phone call."In fact, the phone call referred to by the former commander-in-chief is one in which he called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and appeared to implore the official to "find" 11,780 votes in the states that were in his favor. At the time, Trump required just 11,779 votes in order to carry the state in the 2020 election.

Trump Vows to Turn Himself in Thursday as Bail in Georgia Case Set at $200,000
22:21 GMT 21.08.2023 (Updated: 00:20 GMT 22.08.2023) WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - A court in Georgia has set a $200,000 bail in former US President Donald Trump's election meddling case and barred him from speaking with co-defendants and witnesses about the facts of the case, Monday court documents revealed. Trump has vowed to turn himself over to officials on Thursday.
The total $200,000 is made up of bail for each of the 13 counts Trump has been charged with by Georgia prosecutors, including $80,000 for allegedly breaking the Georgia anti-racketeering law and $10,000 for each of the remaining 12 counts, according to the court filing.
Trump is also ordered not to make any threats to any codefendant or victims, among others.
"The Defendant shall perform no act to intimidate any person known to him or her to be a codefendant or witness in this case or to otherwise obstruct the administration of justice," the filing reads.
Signed by Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, the order was agreed to by Trump shortly after fellow members of his legal team were seen at the Fulton County Courthouse just after 2 p.m. local time.

Media reports have indicated that while other defendant had agreed to bond packages with officials, Trump was only defendant whose order was also signed off on by Fulton County DA Fani Willis.
Having been charged last week with 18 offenses that include racketeering for his efforts to allegedly overturn the results of the 2020 election in the state of Georgia, Trump has until noon on August 25 to surrender voluntarily.
However, he
revealed via social media that he would be turning himself in to be formally 'arrested' over the case on Thursday, one day before the deadline. Trump reiterated he'd be surrendering for simply "making the perfect phone call."
In fact, the phone call referred to by the former commander-in-chief is one in which he called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and appeared to implore the official to "find" 11,780 votes in the states that were in his favor. At the time, Trump required just 11,779 votes in order to carry the state in the 2020 election.
