Georgia Judge Sets Bond At $200,000 For Former US President Donald Trump

Former US President Donald Trump faces charges under the state of Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) Act

Trump has announced on social media that he plans to arrive in Georgia to surrender himself to authorities on Thursday.

A judge in the state of Georgia has set a bond of $200,000 for former United States President Donald Trump, as he faces charges of attempting to overturn the state’s 2020 election results.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee approved the bond agreement on Monday, according to court filings. The agreement shortly before Trump announced he would surrender himself to Georgia authorities on Thursday.

“Can you believe it? I’ll be going to Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday to be ARRESTED by a Radical Left District Attorney, Fani Willis,” Trump said in a social media post on Monday afternoon.

The bond agreement sets out strict rules for Trump’s behaviour in the lead-up to trial. He is barred, for example, from making any “direct or indirect threat” against those involved in the case.

“The Defendant shall perform no act to intimidate any person known to him or her to be codefendant or witness in this case or to otherwise obstruct the administration of justice,” the bond order reads.

It further specifies that Trump cannot communicate with any witness or codefendant about the facts of the case except through his legal counsel. The terms of the agreement pertain not only to in-person dealings but also to “posts on social media or reposts”.

Trump has been known to use his Truth Social platform to criticise judges, prosecutors and witnesses involved in the numerous lawsuits he faces.

They include Fani Willis, the Fulton County district attorney leading the Georgia case, whom the Trump campaign has called a “ribald partisan” and “corrupt” in online posts.

Willis filed charges against Trump and 18 others on August 14, using Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) Act to cast a broad net of allegations.

The RICO Act is often used to crack down on organised crime, and in the indictment, prosecutors allege Trump and his allies masterminded a criminal “enterprise” to allow him to retain power.

Trump lost the presidential race in 2020, after his rival, Democrat Joe Biden, picked up key battleground states like Georgia. But Trump and his allies have since insisted, without evidence, that the election was riddled with fraud.

The Georgia indictment – the fourth criminal indictment against the Republican leader – alleges this developed into a “conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump”.

Trump faces 13 felony charges related to the Georgia indictment, which were tallied together to determine the $200,000 total.

For his alleged violation of the RICO Act, an $80,000 bond was set. Each of the additional 12 counts — including criminal conspiracy, filing false documents and criminal solicitation — was given a bond amount of $10,000 a piece.

Trump has denied the charges against him, dismissing the indictments as a “witch hunt” designed to derail his 2024 campaign for the presidency.

He leads the race for the Republican nomination by a wide margin, with an Emerson College poll released on August 19 positioning him with 56 percent of the party’s support.

It is the first time Trump has had to pay a cash bond as the result of one of his indictments. In the US legal system, bonds often act as collateral to ensure defendants will appear for trial.

Usually, defendants are only required to pay a percentage of the bond, though the costs can still be steep, particularly for those with fewer financial resources.

Lawyers for one of Trump’s most prominent co-defendants, Rudy Giuliani, have told a court in a separate defamation case that the former mayor is struggling to pay his bills. US media has also reported that Giuliani appealed to Trump himself for financial help.

Trump and his co-defendants in the Georgia case face a deadline of Friday to voluntarily surrender to the Fulton County Jail, where they will be booked, a process where police gather fingerprints, photos and personal information to create an arrest record.

In announcing that he would surrender on Thursday, Trump took the opportunity to once again blast Willis for pursuing the case against him.

“She campaigned, and is continuing to campaign, and raise money on, this WITCH HUNT,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “It is all about ELECTION INTERFERENCE!”

Trump also faces federal election interference charges as well as another federal indictment for allegedly mishandling classified documents.

In April, Trump became the first US president, current or former, to face criminal charges after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg accused him of falsifying business records in a state-level case regarding hush money allegedly paid during his 2016 presidential campaign.

The former president has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

A First-of-Its-Kind Rear Screen Experience: Interactive Innovation for a New Generation

itel A300+ coming with an interactive rear display is a rare feature in this price category, designed to deliver a smart entertainment experience for young generations. Far from being a cosmetic gimmick, the rear screen provides practical functions built around real everyday scenarios.

The rear display also supports customizable clocks, photos, and designs, giving users a personal window to express their individual style. Complementing the rear screen, the A300+ features a 6.78-inch immersive punch-hole main display, offering a cleaner, more expansive viewing experience for streaming, gaming, browsing, and social media.

 

 

Performance and Value in Balance: Delivering Fresh Technology Despite Industry Pressure

Even amid rising industry costs, itel has chosen to bring fresh technology to its products while continuously improving performance and keeping pricing accessible. The A300+ is powered by a 7000mAh marathon battery engineered for long-term reliability, supporting up to 1,200 charging cycles — far exceeding the industry standard, and designed to retain healthy capacity. AI Charging Protection intelligently manages charging patterns to reduce battery degradation, while Smart Power Management optimizes power consumption across apps and hardware to extend usage time between charges.

 

The device also features 300% ultra-volume DTS stereo speakers, delivering rich, room-filling sound for music, videos, FM radio, and everyday entertainment. Built to withstand daily life and beyond, the A300+ carries IP65 water and dust resistance certification and meets military-grade durability standards, resisting splashes, dust, and accidental drops. Notably, the A300+ includes satellite communication capability, ensuring users can still send basic messages via satellite when cellular networks are unavailable — a safety net in remote areas, during natural disasters, or in other critical situations, setting it apart in its price segment.

 

The A300+ is built on a clear product philosophy, rather than relying on a single headline feature, it combines its key strengths into one complete product story. The rear screen captures attention first, while battery life, durability, and practical usability make the overall value proposition convincing. With the A300+, itel once again demonstrates its commitment to using innovation to meet the needs and desire for novelty among young users in emerging markets.

Published

on

DJ ROBOT teams up with TMP OFFISIAL and FATEOFTHEYOUTH for NDSM DELUXE, a new DJ mixtape that expands the world of NDSM — No Dey Stress Me into a bigger, more energetic listening experience.

Built around DJ ROBOT’s approach to sequencing, mixing, and controlling energy, NDSM DELUXE transforms the NDSM mindset into a full sonic journey. The mixtape explores nightlife, pressure, temptation, confidence, freedom, desire, and the decision to simply refuse to let life overwhelm you.

Bringing together DJ ROBOT’s DJ-driven vision with the creative energy of TMP OFFISIAL and FATEOFTHEYOUTH, the deluxe edition adds new dimensions to the original NDSM message while maintaining its central philosophy: No Dey Stress Me.

Rather than simply extending the original project, NDSM DELUXE is designed as an experience — moving through different moods, rhythms, and moments while allowing each transition to contribute to the story.

For DJ ROBOT, the project represents an opportunity to communicate through energy as much as words.

“The original NDSM had more energy and stories to explore. I wanted to take the ‘No Dey Stress Me’ mindset beyond the song and turn it into a full DJ experience — something that captures nightlife, freedom, pressure, temptation, and the moments when you simply choose to enjoy yourself and live in the present.”
