Judge sets bond for Giuliani at $150,000
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has set bond for former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani at $150,000.
As with all defendants in the case, Giuliani's bail conditions include not communicating with witnesses and co-defendants, reporting to pre-trial services by phone every month, and not obstructing justice by intimidating witnesses.
Giuliani's bond agreement also includes a line to ensure he surrenders at Fulton County Jail by the Friday deadline DA Fani Willis set for all 19 defendants.
"The Defendant shall turn himself into the Fulton County Jail by 12:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Friday, August 25, 2023. If the Defendant does not turn himself into the Fulton County Jail by this date and time, this consent bond order shall be null and void," the consent order said.
Giuliani is expected to surrender at the jail later today, sources have told ABC News.
According to prosecutors, Giuliani aided Trump in perpetrating a sweeping effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, including by making false statements to state election officials.
Giuliani's attorneys to negotiate his bail, say sources
Two of Rudy Giuliani's attorneys are at the Fulton County Courthouse, where sources say they're expected to meet with the district attorney's staff to negotiate the bond agreement for the former New York City mayor.
Both attorneys declined to comment to ABC News.
After his bond is set, Giuliani is expected to surrender later today for processing at the Fulton County Jail.
Giuliani, Trump's one-time personal attorney, faces 13 counts in the DA's indictment, including three counts of solicitation of violation of oath by public officer and three counts of false statements and writing.
