The Fulton County district attorney's office has advised some of Donald Trump's co-defendants to surrender in the middle of the night to avoid a long wait at the jail.
Two of the former president's alleged co-conspirators – Scott Hall and John Eastman – surrendered Tuesday morning, and Trump has said he intends to do so Thursday, but District Attorney Fani Willis recommended that other defendants turn themselves in to authorities around 3 a.m. for a quick turnaround on their booking, reported The Guardian's Hugo Lowell.
Otherwise, prosecutors said, the defendants could be left waiting for hours at the notorious jail.
POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?
Eastman, the conservative attorney who crafted the so-called phony electors plot, issued a statement upon his surrender denying wrongdoing and vowing to fight the charges against him.
Hall, a bail bondsman from Georgia, is charged with breaching voter data in Coffee County, and he was the first defendant in the case to turn himself in.
