- Scott Hall, a Georgia bail bondsman, pleaded guilty to five misdemeanor counts.
One of Donald Trump's co-defendants in the Georgia election racketeering case, Scott Hall, became the first to plead guilty Friday to five misdemeanors.
Hall, 59, a bail bondsman, pleaded guilty to five counts of conspiracy to commit intentional interference with performance of election duties.
He will receive five years of probation and agreed to testify in further proceedings as part of the deal.
Hall had been charged with racketeering and a half-dozen conspiracy charges related to the alleged tampering with election equipment in Coffee County.
Hall is one of 19 co-defendants in the case charged with trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The rest have all pleaded not guilty.
Other co-defendants in the charges dealing with the election equipment include Sidney Powell, whose trial is scheduled to start Oct. 23; Cathy Latham and Misty Hampton.
Hall was indicted on charges of helping employees of an electronic forensics company, SullivanStrickler, tamper with ballot markers and tabulating machines while inside the Coffee County elections office, according to the indictment.
The conspiracy charges covered election fraud, computer theft, invasion of privacy and defrauding the state.
Hall allegedly flew from DeKalb-Peachtree Airport to Douglas Municipal Airport in Coffee County on Jan. 7, 2021, to help with the unlawful breach of equipment, according to the indictment.
Hall also allegedly investigated potential election fraud contacting other co-defendants, including former assistant attorney general Jeffrey Clark and Robert Cheeley, according to the indictment.

This isn't so much about Trump as it is about Sidney Powell. These crimes are easier for the DA to prove, but tying them to Trump himself will be much more difficult.
Agreed, but it will put Powell in a very tough situation.
he either squealed for lesser charges or he's somehow thinking he's saving his bail bond business
He's getting probation.
I read that. all misdemeanors. bullshit...
Good to see a Trumpster with a conscience (finally).
he's only loyal to his wallet, like the rest of them...
Like rats swimming from a sinking ship?
the rest of the defectors will be based upon their IQ. cascading from highest to lowest...

let's see a list of those liberal/progressive/socialists defectors with georgia rico indictments...
hopefully this triggers a domino effect among the rest of the indicted defendants with no hope of receiving any of trump's rapidly diminishing legal defense funds...
Waiting for a few more shoes to drop.
colorado's infamous house centerfold.... er, member, is tied up in the same type of voting machine hacking in state and federal investigations here...
That one must have got dropped on her head at a very young age.
boobs?
repeatedly
Nice strong legs too with a matching taut body.
whatever, I could care less about that
He's talking about Tina Peters, who is definitely not centerfold material.
wrong. I'm talking about lauren blowbert who will also be implicated by tina peters when it comes down to tina saving her own maga ass from the CBI and FBI. both of tina's mesa county underlings have offers of prosecutorial consideration for their cooperation. tina is having a difficult time retaining counsel lately.
And here I was hoping for hats to hit the ground.
Keep hope alive!
Mr Hall can go home now and revel in his awesome encounter with 'The Dude From Mar-a-Lago'.
Good news. Let's see this continue with people detaching from Trump (ending their part of the lying) and now serving as witnesses for the prosecution.
And now only...
