Former President Donald Trump is expected to surrender to Fulton County authorities in the evening Thursday.
The Federal Aviation Administration has placed temporary flight restrictions over the area where the Fulton County Jail is located in Georgia from 6:45 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET. The reason given for the restrictions is "VIP Movement."
While no time has been confirmed for Trump's arrival at the jail, the former president said Monday he will fly to Georgia and turn himself in to face 13 counts stemming from District Attorney Fani Willis' probe into alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in the state.
It is expected that Trump will be required to take a mugshot. Others charged out of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ probe, like former Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis and more had their photos taken during processing.
Trump was charged with one count of violation of the Georgia RICO Act, three counts of criminal solicitation, six counts of criminal conspiracy, one count of filing false documents and two counts of making false statements.
Trump retained Steven Sadow, an Atlanta-based white collar defense attorney, to represent him in the Fulton County case. Sadow will replace Drew Findling, who had been representing him in the matter. Findling is no longer representing Trump, a source familiar told Fox News Digital.

Trump retains new legal counsel in Fulton County case
Former President Trump retained Steven Sadow, an Atlanta-based white collar defense attorney, to represent him in the Fulton County case.
Sadow will replace Drew Findling, who had been representing him in the matter. Findling is no longer representing Trump, a source familiar told Fox News Digital.
"I have been retained to represent President Trump in the Fulton County, Georgia case," Sadow said in a statement. "The President should never have been indicted. He is innocent of all the charges brought against him."
Sadow added: "We look forward to the case being dismissed or, if necessary, an unbiased, open minded jury finding the President not guilty. Prosecutions intended to advance or serve the ambitions and careers of political opponents of the President have no place in our justice system."
Trump was charged with one count of violation of the Georgia RICO Act, three counts of criminal solicitation, six counts of criminal conspiracy, one count of filing false documents and two counts of making false statements.
The indictment out of Georgia was the fourth for Trump, who is the first former president in United States history to face criminal charges.

WATCH: Huge Crowds Gather Outside Fulton County Jail To Support Trump
By Mark SteffenAugust 24, 2023Updated:August 24, 2023
Supporters of former President Donald Trump are swarming the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office where he is expected to turn himself in to authorities later today to face charges alleging he conspired to overturn the state’s 2020 election results.
Video of crowds outside the office show flags, banners, and a festival-like atmosphere as a diverse audience of Trump enthusiasts cheers on their GOP leader while he faces down what they perceive to be a politically motivated witch hunt by Democrats against the leading Republican for president. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, a Democrat, has promised impartial justice while local police have promised to treat the former president as any other prisoner, including taking his mugshot which would be a first in Trump’s four criminal indictments.
Police were spotted Thursday morning lining the streets with two layers of barricades, a hedge that betrays authorities’ fear of tussles between supporters and counter-demonstrators. Opponents of President Trump have likewise appeared during his past case appearances to fan the flames that are just shouts away from a full-on blaze.

Judge Approves Cameras in Courtroom For Trump Arraignment
by Cristina Laila Aug. 24, 2023 12:25 pm
This is Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign since his administration is one big failure.
Joe Biden has nothing to campaign on so he’s hiding out doing spin and Pilates classes in Lake Tahoe while his DOJ and Marxist DAs lock up his main political rival.
Trump will turn himself into authorities on Thursday after Fulton County DA Fani Willis charged him with RICO and conspiracy for daring to challenge the 2020 election.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee allowed cameras in the courtroom for Trump’s arraignment in Fulton County.
WSB-TV, WAGA TV, WANF TV and WXIA TV will be in the courtroom with cameras.
Trump’s arraignment will be broadcast on live television.
Trump will be processed and booked. He will also likely have his mugshot taken. His bond was set at $200,000.

The Fulton County, Georgia mugshot of Harrison Floyd (Fulton County Sheriff's Office)
Harrison Floyd, the former executive director of Black Voices for Trump, is currently sitting in the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia after turning himself in on charges in connection to District Attorney Fani Willis' investigation into alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Floyd is the only defendant who did not negotiate bond terms before surrendering. All other 18 defendants, including former President Donald Trump, have now reached bond terms. 11 have surrendered -- including Floyd -- the other 10 have been released.
Floyd was allegedly involved in efforts to pressure poll workers into promoting fraud allegations, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Trump is expected to turn himself in later this evening.

What happens after an indictment?
Former President Donald Trump has been indicted for the fourth time this year, with 13 charges against him for alleged efforts to overturn election results in the state of Georgia during the 2020 presidential election.
There are 18 others who have been indicted alongside Trump. Now that the indictment has happened, the next step of the process will be an arraignment.
During an arraignment, the federal criminal defendants appear in court. While in court, the charges are read and the defendant is asked to enter a “guilty” or “not guilty” plea.
After an arraignment, there are several steps that come before a trial.
The prosecution and defense will come together and discuss the evidence and witnesses that will be involved in the case. Before a trial occurs, a plea bargain is discussed, where a defendant can plead guilty to a lesser charge. If there is no plea bargain reached, this is when a case will move to trial.
During a trial, a jury will be selected, witnesses and evidence will be displayed from both sides and eventually a verdict will be reached. If the defendant is found guilty, then sentencing will occur.

Might have been interesting if Trump had 1) opposed any bond on the ground that he's clearly not going to flee the country, and then 2) refuse to post bond when it was imposed anyway.
That would have been a ballsy move on his part to put some pressure on the court. You'd have a former President with Secret Service protection being held in jail, and a lot of supporters getting very pissed off.
That's the kind of thing you do to challenge the system. A true power move that I personally would have respected.

Former President Donald Trump surrendered to officials in Fulton County, Georgia, on Thursday evening — the fourth jurisdiction in which he's had to turn himself in less than six months — to face an indictment on 13 state felony counts for his alleged misdeeds in the wake of the 2020 presidential election.
As part of his processing by Fulton County, Trump was required to have a mugshot taken in a departure from the three previous times the former president surrender to face the other indictments against him. The photo was subsequently released by the Fulton County Sheriff's Office.

Nah he'd be safe. But what it would do is force the Judge to waive bail, or someone else would pay it so that Trump.would get out. No way they'd want to keep Trump in there.

He should have adopted the Tom Delay smile, like Jenna Ellis, did, to render the photo useless for the Dems.
