Tucker Carlson drops first preview of Donald Trump interview
Donald Trump will surrender to authorities in Georgia today to be arrested on charges of attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election in the state.
He will turn himself in at Fulton County Jail on Thursday evening where he is expected to have his mugshot taken – a historic moment marking the first time that a current or former president has ever appeared in a booking photo.
Several of Mr Trump’s 18 codefendants in the case – including former Mr Trump attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell – have already surrendered and their humiliating mugshots have started to be released.
His arrest is set to come just hours after the first Republican presidential debate in Milwaukee on Wednesday night – an event which Mr Trump boycotted to instead air a rival – though pre-recorded – interview to former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
Following the debate, Mr Trump went on a Truth Social rampage with a string of posts attacking his political rivals as “horrible” and a “joke”.
“I never asked Mike Pence to put me above the Constitution. Who would say such a thing? A FAKE STORY!” he ranted.
