Trump set to surrender to authorities in Atlanta

From Morning Report, 7:49 am on 25 August 2023

Former US President Donald Trump will surrender to authorities at an Atlanta jail in the coming hours, to face charges of trying to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state of Georgia.

Trump already has a bond agreement in place, and his team say they don't expect the process will take long.

Nine of Trump's eighteen co-defendants have already surrendered ahead of the deadline on Saturday at 4am.
