Here are the mugshots of all the defendants in the Georgia election case

Last week, a grand jury in Georgia indicted former President Donald Trump and 18 accomplices with conspiring to overturn the state’s results of the 2020 presidential election so he could stay in office.

Included in the Aug. 14 indictment are racketeering and racketeering statutes that, in addition to Trump, have resulted in a long list of charges for his close allies including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows and John Eastman.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis gave the 19 defendants until noon Friday to turn themselves in. As of Wednesday night, nine of the accused accomplices have turned themselves in to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office. Trump, whose bail has been set at $200,000, has confirmed that he will turn himself in on Thursday.

Despite now being charged with four criminal cases, Trump has managed to avoid having his mugshot taken. But shortly after the indictment was released, Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat said the defendants, including Trump, will receive no special treatment when they arrive for their arraignment.

“It doesn’t matter your status. We have a mugshot ready for you,” she told NPR. “Unless someone tells me otherwise, we follow our normal practices.”

So far, Labat has kept his word. Here are mugshots of all the defendants who have turned themselves in so far, provided by the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office.

Eastman was instrumental in some of Trump’s efforts to stay in power, notably by writing a memo arguing that the former president could keep his job if then-Vice President Mike Pence it overturned the election results during a joint session of Congress on January 6, 2021. The plan included implementing “fake” electors in seven battleground states, including Georgia, that would falsely certify Trump’s victory.
