Bail bondsman takes plea deal in former Pres. Donald Trump’s election interference case

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — One of 18 people indicted alongside former President Donald Trump in a 2020 election interference case has taken a plea deal.

Channel 2 Action News was in the courtroom when Scott Graham Hall, an Atlanta-area bail bondsman, pleaded guilty on Friday afternoon.

Hall was allegedly involved in commandeering voting information that was the property of Dominion Voting Systems from Coffee County. Hall’s bond was set at $10,000, according to an agreement with the DA’s office.

Judge Scott McAfee sentenced Hall to five years of probation, a $5,000 fine and 200 hours of community service.

Hall was also the first of the 19 co-defendants to turn himself in at the Fulton County Jail.
