Scott Hall Pleads Guilty to Accusations of Attempting to Overturn Donald Trump’s Election Loss
A man accused of trying to reverse Donald Trump’s election defeat in Georgia has pleaded guilty.
Scott Hall is one of 19 defendants in the case – and was charged alongside the former US president.
The bail bondsman had been accused of participating in a breach of election equipment in a rural area.
He is the first defendant to enter a plea deal in the case, making it a significant development.
Prosecutors claim there was a wide-ranging scheme to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in 2020.
Hall pleaded guilty to five counts of conspiracy to commit intentional interference with performance of election duties.
He has now been sentenced to five years’ probation, and has agreed to “testify truthfully in this case and all further proceedings”.
