Many of Trump’s co-defendants have already surrendered
More than half of Trump’s 18 co-defendants have already surrendered at Fulton County jail.
The most recent addition to the list was Mark Meadows, Trump’s former White House chief of staff, who was booked and released earlier Thursday afternoon, jail records show.
The others include pro-Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis, John Eastman, Kenneth Chesebro and Ray Smith; former Georgia Republican party officials David Shafer and Cathy Latham; and Scott Hall, a Georgia bail bondsman.
The co-defendants who have yet to surrender are Jeff Clark, Robert Cheeley, Michael Roman, Shawn Still, Stephen Lee, Harrison Floyd, Trevian Kutti and Misty Hampton.
All 19 defendants in Willis’ case must surrender by Friday at noon.

Trump says he will be arrested in Atlanta at 7:30 p.m.
Trump said in a social media post that he will be arrested in Atlanta, Georgia, at 7:30 p.m.
He made the announcement after touting the view count for his online interview with ex-Fox News host Tucker Carlson, which was posted last night to counter-program the Republican primary debate that Trump skipped.
Trump’s post on Truth Social also repeated his false claims that the 2020 election was rigged against him.
