The former president was released on bail after a short booking at Fulton County Jail on Thursday night. He spent less than 30 minutes inside the facility before exiting and flying home to New Jersey.

Trump and his allies are charged with attempting to overturn Joe Biden’s electoral victory in the 2020 election in Georgia. The ex-president has claimed he did nothing wrong and prosecutors are attempting to block his path to the Republican nomination in 2024.

In addition to the charges in Atlanta, Trump is accused of lying on business records in New York, illegally taking classified documents to his home in Mar-a-Lago and attempting to overturn the election in a different way in Washington, D.C., with the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
