«I don’t take plea deals. We did nothing wrong,» Trump has said.
Former President Donald Trump received an update about a possible plea deal in Georgia after one of his co-defendants announced on Tuesday that he was turning himself in.
An attorney for John Eastman, who previously served as Trump’s lawyer, that Eastman was planning to surrender himself to officials at the Fulton County Jail. Eastman’s attorney said, «He is going to trial, there will be no plea deal.»
Eastman issued a statement through the Burnham & Gorokhov law firm stating, «I am here today to surrender to an indictment that should never have been brought. It represents a crossing of the Rubicon for our country, implicating the fundamental First Amendment right to petition the government for redress of grievances.»
«My legal team and I will vigorously contest every count of the indictment in which I am named, and also every count in which others are named, for which my knowledge of the relevant facts, law, and constitutional provisions may prove helpful.
