ALBAWABA- Former US President Donald Trump is scheduled to reach Atlanta within an hour from now, where he will voluntarily surrender to authorities at the notorious Fulton County jail. He is slated to be booked on a series of charges related to his alleged attempts to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election in the state of Georgia

Among the charges, Trump is accused of improper interference with the electoral process and incitement of election fraud.

During the surrender process, it is anticipated that Trump will undergo standard booking procedures, including having a mugshot taken. 

Notably, he will not be subjected to handcuffs, and no removal of his shoelaces or belt will occur. Trump will retain his business suit for the mugshot.

These charges mark a significant development in the ongoing legal scrutiny surrounding Trump's actions following his presidency.

Legal experts suggest that the case could set a precedent for holding high-profile individuals accountable for their roles in undermining the democratic process. 

The surrender is expected to draw attention both nationally and internationally, as it underscores the broader debate over the limits of political influence on electoral systems.
