A bail bondsman has become the first person to plead guilty in the Georgia criminal case focused on former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Scott Hall was initially charged with several felony counts in connection with efforts to access voting equipment in Coffee County, Ga.

Former Coffee County elections supervisor Misty Hampton and former Coffee County GOP Chair Cathy Latham are also facing criminal charges related to that plan.
