On Friday, bail bondsman Scott Hall, one of 18 co-defendants charged alongside former President Donald Trump on election interference charges in Georgia, pleaded guilty. 

Hall pleaded guilty to five misdemeanor charges of conspiracy to commit intentional interference with the performance of an election. He was sentenced to five years probation and agreed to testify in the court hearings of his co-defendants. 

During the plea hearing in front of Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, the Fulton County District Attorney's office asked Hall, "Do you understand that conditions of your probation in this sentence is that you testify truthfully at any further court proceedings to include trials of any co-defendants that is listed on the original indictment in which you were charged?" 

He responded, "Yes, ma'am." 

According to the Daily Mail, Hall was initially accused of unlawfully breaching voting machines in Coffee County in early 2021 to access voter data in an attempt to back up claims of election fraud made by Trump lawyer Sidney Powell. 

On August 14, Fulton County, Georgia, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis indicted former President Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, Kenneth Chesebro, Jeff Clark, Jenna Ellis, Ray Smith III, Robert Sheeley, Michael Roman, David Shafer, Shawn Still, Stephen Lee, Harrison Floyd, Trevian Kutti, Sidney Powell, Cathleen Latham, Scott Hall, and Misty Hampton on charges relating to the 2020 election. 

The list of charges includes a violation of 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 indictment in Georgia was the second that former President Trump is facing in connection to the 2020 presidential election. The first is in federal court for allegedly attempting to prevent the certification of the election on January 6, 2021. 

Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges that have been brought against him.
