In an unprecedented turn of events, former US President Donald Trump made a brief stint at Fulton County Jail, following more than a dozen felony charges against him, only to be off the hook after a $200,000 bond.

A Day From Silver Bars to Silver Tees
This whirlwind saga stemmed from an extensive criminal case resulting from Trump’s attempts to reverse his 2020 election defeat in Georgia.
Never before had a former US President borne the brunt of an arrest, let alone a mug shot, characteristic of regular detainees.
Trump’s detainment duration? A fleeting twenty minutes. An inmate registered under the number P01135809, Trump soon switched gears from his silver bars scenario to the silver tees at his New Jersey golf club.
This swift transition from detainment to golf tees didn’t come cheap, though. A whopping $200,000 bond and specific conditions saw to his release.
Trump’s After-Arrest Account
Despite his brief detainment and the looming thirteen felony counts, Trump remains defiant. He asserts, “What has taken place here is a travesty of justice. I did nothing wrong, and everybody knows it.”
Also caught in the legal tangle surrounding Trump is attorney Kenneth Chesebro, whose trial has been set for October 23.
Although the schedule does not include Trump yet, eleven other co-defendants have already been booked. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and lawyer Jenna Ellis are notable names on this list.
Trump is under scrutiny for pressuring state officials to reverse his election loss, a significant racketeering crime.
Along with setting up an illegitimate slate of electors, these counts aim to dismantle the formal certification of Biden’s 2020 victory.
Gravitating from silver bars to silver tees in a $200K swing, Trump’s predicament serves as a stark reminder of the unprecedented political tides we witness today.
