Donald Trump to surrender: Crowd descends on Fulton County Jail ahead of latest arrest

A crowd of supporters of former President Donald Trump descended on the Fulton County Jail outside Atlanta ahead of Trump’s impending fourth arrest.

As with the previous three arraignments, Trump supporters gathered in force to show their support for the former president. Unlike the past three arraignments, which occurred at courthouses, the Fulton County arrest will take place at a notorious jail, the Associated Press reported.

“I’m here to support Donald J. Trump. I want him to see some of the millions that show up at the polls for him,” she said.

Not everyone was there in support, however. A considerable counter-protest gathered as well, calling Trump a traitor.
