NINE more Trump co-defendants still expected to be arrested in Georgia election fraud case before Friday deadline as the ex-president himself heads down to the Fulton County Jail

Nine co-defendants in the Georgia election fraud case have yet to turn themselves in at Fulton County Jail as Donald Trump prepares to do so Thursday night.

That number includes Mark Meadows, Trump’s then-chief of staff, and Jeffrey Clark, a Justice Department attorney — both of whom are fighting to have their cases moved from state court to federal court.

Both men have argued that as employees of the federal government, they are protected from prosecution by the state.

They also tried to delay their arrest in Atlanta at the Fulton County Courthouse, but a judge ruled Wednesday that the district attorney can arrest both men if they don’t turn themselves in by Friday afternoon’s deadline.

Authorities erected barricades outside the Fulton County Jail on Thursday

Also yet to be booked are Trump allies accused of harassing Georgia election workers and some who took part in the “fake voter” scheme.

Nine of the nineteen indicted co-conspirators have already been arrested, photographs taken and released on bail.

Trump will face the same procedure Thursday night if he surrenders to Fulton County authorities. The former president is expected to be released on $200,000 bail on Thursday.

District Attorney Fani Willis has charged all the defendants with racketeering, claiming they were involved in a “criminal enterprise” to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory in Georgia.

None of the 19 have yet filed pleas because the arraignment process is separate from the Georgia booking process.

Willis has asked for these arraignments to take place the week of September 5. The defendants can waive their appearance at that trial, where they answer the charges against them. Lawyers may speak on their behalf.

These are the nine co-defendants who have yet to turn themselves in:

Mark Meadows

Mark Meadows

Then-White House Chief of Staff Meadows arranged the phone call between Trump and Georgian Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, in which then-President asked Raffensperger to “find” enough votes to beat Joe Biden.

Meadows was on the phone when Trump made his request. He also observed the auditing of absentee ballot signatures in Georgia’s Cobb County.

A judge will hear Meadows’ request for a transfer to federal court on August 28.

Willis argues that this should be dismissed because the conduct in question was “political activity” outside of his official duties as Trump’s chief of staff.

Jeffrey Clark

Jeffrey Clark

Jeffrey Clark was a Justice Department attorney who drafted a letter the month after the 2020 election falsely stating that the DoJ had “identified significant concerns” about voter fraud in Georgia and other states.

The letter was never sent, but urged Georgian officials to convene a special session of the state legislature to overturn Biden’s victory.

Trump had considered appointing Clark as acting attorney general, but top DoJ officials threatened to resign en masse if that happened. It never went through.

Robert Cheley

Robert Cheley

Robert Cheeley is a Georgia lawyer who advised Trump.

He testified to Georgia lawmakers at a December 2020 hearing that election workers in Fulton County had “voted” on the same ballots “over and over” on Election Day.

He presented a video of election workers handing out ballots that he claimed were double and triple count votes. He compared what he believed to have happened to the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.

In addition to the racketeering charges, he also faces perjury charges before the special grand jury that heard evidence in the Fulton County case.

Michael Roman

Michael Roman

The former Trump campaign official is accused of helping organize rogue voters in several states, including Georgia.

The plan was to recruit a series of bogus voters in seven battlegrounds — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — to sign certificates falsely stating that Trump, not Biden, had their states won.

Roman did much of the preliminary work around organizing the seven slates, according to testimony from the Congressional Committee investigating the origins of the January 6 uprising.

He also organized speakers for December 10, 2020, hearing before a Georgia House committee to spread false information that the state’s vote was riddled with fraud, prosecutors said.

Shawn Still

Shawn Still

Shawn Still, a Georgia state senator, was a bogus Trump voter.

He was one of three voters indicted for their role in the scheme to present a bogus list of 16 Republicans that voters presented to the Electoral College in support of Trump.

He signed a certificate falsely declaring Trump the winner in Georgia and designating himself as one of the state’s qualified voters.

His attorney said, “The evidence at trial will show that Senator is still innocent as the day is long.”

Misty Hampton

Misty Hampton

The former Coffee County election supervisor is accused of assisting employees of forensic data firm SullivanStrickler in hacking into Coffee County voting machines.

Hampton was at the county election office on Jan. 7, 2021, when forensic experts from SullivanStrickler were allowed to copy software and data from county election equipment as part of an effort by Trump allies, who alleged voter fraud in the state .

She said she was suspicious of Biden’s victory. She made a video that went viral after the election, purporting to show that the Dominion Voting System machines used in her province could be tampered with.

Stephen Cliffgard Lee

Stephen Cliffgard Lee

Lee is an Illinois police pastor.

Lee is accused of attempting to intimidate Fulton County pollster Ruby Freeman by visiting her home and inducing her to give false testimony about Election Day events.

He worked with Harrison Floyd and Trevian Kutti to pressure Freeman.

He was given $75,000 bail, which his lawyer says is not reasonable.

‘I think that’s an exaggerated band. He’s a pastor. These are not people who do things to get rich,” said David Shestokas.

“There is no reason to believe he poses a flight risk. I told them he’s not a rich man and couldn’t bond.’

Harrison Floyd

Harrison Floyd

Floyd is the former director of Black Voices for Trump.

He, Lee, and former Kanye West publicist Trevian Kutti met with Ruby Freeman on January 4, 2021, where they allegedly attempted to manipulate Freeman into giving false testimony about voter fraud on Election Day.

Lee had gone to Freeman’s house, but later told Floyd that Freeman wouldn’t talk to him because he is a white male, according to the Georgia indictment. He asked for Floyd’s help. Both Floyd and Freeman are black.

Floyd then recruited publicist Trevian Kutti, who is also black, to travel from Chicago to the Atlanta area to meet with Freeman.

Freeman was the target of repeated lies by Trump and his supporters in the aftermath of the 2020 election. She was falsely accused of vote rigging and became the target of death threats.

Trevian Kuti

Trevian Kuti

Kanye West’s former publicist visited Freeman at her home and falsely identified himself as a crisis manager who wanted to help her.

She collaborated with Lee and Floyd in efforts to put pressure on the pollster, the indictment said.

Kutti and Lee showed up at Freeman’s home multiple times in December 2020 and January 2021 under the guise of wanting to help her.

Kutti allegedly told Freeman she was in danger and asked her to meet her at a police station.

When they met, Kutti told Freeman she could take her to a safe location, according to police body camera footage obtained by Reuters.

“You’re a loose end for a party that needs to be cleaned up,” Kutti told Freeman.
