The first cracks in Trump's wall. Any guesses how many of the remaining 18 want to cut a deal a week from now?


Prosecutors Cut First Plea Deal in Trump Georgia Case
A bail bond business owner charged along with former President Donald Trump in a sweeping Georgia election-interference case pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges on Friday, becoming the first of Trump’s 18 co-defendants to strike a deal with prosecutors.

The deal prosecutors cut with Scott Hall, who had previously pleaded not guilty to racketeering and other criminal charges, could help Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis bolster her case against the other defendants, who include Trump-aligned lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell.

Hall agreed to cooperate with the district attorney’s office as part of his plea deal, in which Willis agreed to drop the racketeering charge against him. Hall pleaded guilty to five misdemeanor counts of conspiracy to commit intentional interference with election duties.

Trump Defendants May Be Scrambling to Make a Deal


Former President Donald Trump's co-defendants in Georgia may be scrambling to make plea deals after bail bondsman Scott Hall became the first to strike an agreement with prosecutors.

Hall, 59, is among Trump's 18 co-defendants in the 2020 presidential election subversion case in Fulton County. He agreed to testify in other proceedings and will receive five years' probation after pleading guilty to five misdemeanors on Friday, having originally been charged with seven more serious crimes including racketeering and conspiracy to commit election fraud.

Legal experts have suggested that the agreement could prompt an avalanche of other co-defendants rushing to negotiate their own deals before Hall potentially testifies against them. Those accused of participating in the same scheme as Hall, a plot to illegally access voting machines in Coffee County, were viewed as particularly vulnerable.
