The latest on the Georgia 2020 election subversion case

Cathy Latham, who faces charges in the Georgia 2020 election meddling case related to both the fake electors plot and Coffee County voter data breach scheme, surrendered overnight Wednesday at the Fulton County jail, according to county inmate records.

Latham is the former chair of the Coffee County Republican Party. She is one of 16 individuals who signed on to be alternative electors for former President Donald Trump to rival the legitimate electors of President Joe Biden, leading to several charges in District Attorney Fani Willis’ case.  

Latham also faces conspiracy counts related to an alleged plot to unlawfully access voter data and ballot county equipment in Coffee County, in addition to the racketeering charge that is central to Willis’ case. 

Latham has said she was not “personally involved" in the breach. 

Donald Trump is expected to surrender at the Fulton County Jail on Thursday in the Georgia 2020 election subversion case – and when he does the former president will have three different options to pay the $200,000 bond that will keep him from being detained in the facility as his case unfolds. 

District Attorney Fani Willis has given the defendants until noon Friday to surrender at the jail and a number of them have negotiated so-called bond orders with her office to ensure a speedy surrender process. 

As of Wednesday morning, just four of the defendants had surrendered.

Here's what to know about paying a bond in Fulton County and three different ways to do so to avoid being detained:

Trump election attorney John Eastman, who surrendered on Tuesday, went with the 10% option, as did Scott Hall, a professional bondsman in Atlanta, who was charged in the case with crimes related to his alleged involvement in the Coffee County, Georgia, voting systems breach

The consent bond orders being negotiated between the defendants' attorneys and Willis spell out the conduct a defendant is prohibited from engaging in and specifies the amount of money they have to pay for each count brought against them in the case. 

For Trump, who was charged with 13 crimes in the case, his $200,000 includes $80,000 for allegedly violating Georgia's racketeering act and $10,000 for each of the remaining 12 counts brought against him. 

Unlike some of his co-defendants, the former president is explicitly barred in his order from using social media to target his 18 co-defendants in the case, as well as any witnesses and the 30 unindicted co-conspirators.

The Fulton County election subversion case marks the first time the release conditions for Trump have included a cash bond and a prohibition on intimidation through social media.

An Atlanta-based grand jury indicted former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants on state charges last week stemming from their efforts to overturn the former president’s 2020 electoral defeat in the Peach State.

All of the defendants have until noon ET Friday to voluntarily surrender to authorities, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said.

Trump said he will turn himself in at the Fulton County jail on Thursday.

Here are the 19 people charged in the Georgia case, according to the indictment:
