Large Crowd Gathers Outside of Fulton County Jail Awaiting Trump’s Arrival

A large crowd of Trump supporters gathered outside of the Fulton County, Georgia, jail Thursday morning awaiting the former president’s arrival.

Trump is expected to arrive at the jail on Thursday evening where he will get fingerprinted and possibly have his mug shot taken. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis asked for the arraignment of Trump and 18 other defendants to take place in September, according to CNN. The judge overseeing the case will also allow four local news stations to have cameras in the courtroom through September 8, according to court documents, making Trump’s fourth arraignment the most opportune for the media.

The former president and current frontrunner in the Republican primary was charged by Willis last week with 13 counts, which included charges for racketeering. Loyal Trump supporters showed up to the jail hours before Trump’s expected arrival to voice their frustration with the prosecution of the sitting president’s chief political opponent.
