Summary

Former President Trump and his 18 co-defendants have all surrendered at the Fulton County jail before the noon deadline. One co-defendant, Harrison Floyd, was denied bond will remain in jail. Judge Emily Richardson told him that she wouldn’t be setting bond because Floyd had already been indicted and assigned to another judge who would address bond moving forward. The former president is accused of being the head of a “criminal enterprise” that was a broad conspiracy to reverse the 2020 election. Former Georgia State Senator Jen Jordan testified before the Fulton County grand jury in this investigation. She joins AC360 to discuss what’s next for Trump and his co-defendants. Plus, CNN Reporter Alayna Treene is in Bedminster, New Jersey, near the former President’s golf club to give an update on his mood following his fourth arrest and the release of his mug shot.
