Donald Trump took to his social media site Monday night to joke about fleeing to Russia after a $200,000 bond was set in the Georgia election interference case.
“The failed District Attorney of Fulton County (Atlanta), Fani Willis, insisted on a $200,000 Bond from me,” Trump wrote. “I assume, therefore, that she thought I was a ‘flight’ risk – I’d fly far away, maybe to Russia, Russia, Russia, share a gold domed suite with Vladimir, never to be seen or heard from again.”
“Would I be able to take my very ‘understated’ airplane with the gold TRUMP affixed for all to see,” he added. “Probably not, I’d be much better off flying commercial – I’m sure nobody would recognize me!”
Trump was indicted by a Fulton County, Georgia grand jury last week on 13 criminal counts including racketeering, criminal conspiracy and filing false documents in connection with his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state.
Earlier on Monday, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee set Trump’s bond at $200,000— $80,000 for racketeering charge and $10,000 each for the remaining 12 counts.
The bond agreement prohibits Trump from trying to “intimidate any person known to him or her to be a co-defendant or witness in this case or to otherwise obstruct the administration of justice.”
“The above shall include, but are not limited to, posts on social media or reposts of posts made by another individual on social media,” the agreement adds.
Trump plans to surrender at the Fulton County jail on Thursday.
