Conservative attorney John Eastman, a proponent of a strategy to maintain Donald Trump’s presidency, presented himself to authorities on Tuesday to face charges in the Georgia case.

This case alleges an unlawful scheme to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election, where the former president suffered defeat.

Eastman was processed and booked into the Fulton County jail. He is anticipated to undergo an arraignment within the following weeks in connection with the extensive racketeering case, the Associated Press reported.

Last week, he was indicted alongside Trump and 17 others by District Attorney Fani Willis.

They are accused of orchestrating a plan to undermine the choices of Georgia voters, attempting to prevent Joe Biden from assuming the presidency. This marks the fourth legal case targeting the former Republican president.

Having had his bail established at $200,000 on Monday, Trump has declared his intention to surrender himself to Fulton County authorities on Thursday.

The terms of his bail restrict him from engaging in any actions that might intimidate co-defendants, witnesses, or victims involved in the case, including any actions on social media platforms.
