Trump also claimed that the election was “stolen”.</p> <p>In an interview to Newsmax, Trump stated that he was “treated very nicely” at the jail. He disparaged the prosecutors in his cases as “radical left” lawyers, and called them “vicious animals” and “maniacs”. "In my whole life, I didn't know anything about indictment, and now I've been indicted like four times," Newsmax quoted Trump as saying. Trump was released on bond bail of USD 2,00,000, as per CNN. It added that jail records showed his booking number was P01135809. His height was measured at 6 foot 3 inches and he weighed 215 pounds.</p> <p>Notably, Trump's surrender in Georgia marks the fourth time this year the former president has turned himself in over criminal charges brought against him, a development that was never witnessed in the US before 2023, the CNN report added. Trump is facing serious criminal charges and a criminal indictment at a time when he is running again for the US President and is the leading GOP candidate for the same.</p> <p>Donald Trump was booked in New York on state charges related to a hush money scheme in April.
