BREAKING: Former Trump attorney John Eastman turns himself in to Fulton County jail

The pair are the first defendants to surrender following the indictment brought against the former president and 18 of his associates by District Attorney Fani Willis in connection with alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

According to the Associated Press, Eastman and Hall were booked a the Fulton County jail Tuesday morning and will face arraignments in the coming weeks.

Eastman has been accused of orchestrating the attempt to keep Donald Trump in power after he lost to Joe Biden.

The indictment alleges that he worked with others to push an "alternate" slate of electors who would falsely certify that Trump won in order to pressure then-vice president Mike Pence to delay proceedings.

In a statement, Eastman claimed he was surrendedring "to an indictment that should never have been brought," suggesting it had unfairly targeted "attorneys for their zealous advocacy on behalf of their clients."

Trump and his associates were charged with violating the Georgia RICO Act, solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer, false statements and writings, impersonating a public officer, conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer, forgery in the first degree, conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree, conspiracy to commit false statements and writings, criminal attempt to commit filing false documents, conspiracy to commit filing false documents, criminal attempt to commit influencing witnesses, influencing witnesses, conspiracy to commit election fraud, conspiracy to commit computer theft, conspiracy to commit computer trespass, conspiracy to commit computer invasion of privacy, conspiracy to defraud the state, and perjury.

The former president is expected to be arrested in Atlanta on Thursday.
