“If you challenge an election, you should be able to challenge an election,” he told media. 

“I thought the election was a rigged election. A stolen election.”

Trump has been released on a US$200,000 bail and will be forced to adhere to certain conditions including refraining from intimidating witnesses, victims or co-defendants. 

His arrest follows that of Trump associate Rudy Giuliani who was also arrested at the same jail in Georgia yesterday.
