Former White House lawyer on Trump’s expected surrender in Georgia: ‘He won’t enjoy it’

Former White House lawyer Ty Cobb on Friday said while former President Trump’s expected surrender in Georgia next week likely won’t rattle him, “he won’t enjoy it.”
Asked how the reputation of the jail in Fulton County, Ga., may affect Trump psychologically, Cobb suggested the impact would be miniscule.
“I do think it will have some, you know, some impact on him… He won’t enjoy it,” he told CNN anchor Erin Burnett. “But, you know, to the extent that it, it’ll rattle him… I don’t see that happening.”
His comments come as multiple outlets reported that law enforcement officials in Georgia anticipate Trump will surrender by the end of next week. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis earlier this week set a deadline of noon on Friday, Aug. 25 for Trump — and 18 of his allies — to voluntarily surrender after an indictment charged the defendants for their alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the state.
Following the news of the Georgia indictment — Trump’s fourth one this year — the former president said he planned to hold a press conference next week to present new evidence of election fraud in the state. He claimed the report would completely exonerate him and his codefendants.
