FORMER President Donald Trump has said he will be arrested this week upon traveling Georgia where he faces conspiracy and racketeering charges over allegations that he tried to overturn the 2020 election.

The former president made the proclamation in a Monday night post on his social media website, Truth Social.

"Can you believe it? I’ll be going to Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday to be ARRESTED by a Radical Left District Attorney, Fani Willis, who is overseeing one of the greatest Murder and Violent Crime DISASTERS in American History," Trump claimed.

"In my case, the trip to Atlanta is not for 'Murder,' but for making a PERFECT PHONE CALL! She campaigned, and is continuing to campaign, and raise money on, this WITCH HUNT.

He even went on to claim that the recent indictment was in "strict coordination" with President Joe Biden's Department of Justice.

"It is all about ELECTION INTERFERENCE!" Trump wrote.

Last week, the former president was indicted over several conspiracy charges, soliciting a public official to violate their oath, making false statements and writings, and violating Georgia's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) law.

He has until Friday, August 25 to voluntarily turn himself in.

The Fulton County Sheriff's Office said Monday that once Trump surrenders to authorities, there will be a "hard lockdown" of the area around the county jail.

Trump's bond has reportedly been set at $200,000, according to court papers filed on Monday.

The bond agreement also reportedly prohibits the former president from intimidating co-defendants, witnesses, or victims in the case on social media, according to the Associated Press.

This also includes "reports of posts" made by others.

Specifically, the bond agreement bars Trump from making any "direct or indirect threat of any nature."

He is also reportedly barred from communicating about the facts of the case with any witnesses or co-defendants, expect through their attorneys.

Last week's indictment marks the fourth the former president has faced this year alone.

It was unsealed on August 14, revealing that Trump and 18 other defendants face charges related to efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

The indictment lists 41 charges against the 19 defendants.

The indictment claims that the defendants "unlawfully conspired and endeavored to conduct and participate in criminal enterprise in Fulton County, Georgia, and elsewhere."

All of the defendants face racketeering charges.

The indictment also includes charges for forgery, perjury, influencing witnesses, solicitation of state legislatures, and high-ranking state officials, as well as the creation and distribution of false electoral college documents.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has said she plans to try all 19 defendants in the same trial.

After surrendering to authorities, the defendants are expected to be booked in Fulton County jail.

This processes is expected to include photographs and fingerprinting.
