FULTON COUNTY - Supporters of former President Donald Trump have gathered outside of Fulton County Jail on Rice Street.

The rally to support Trump was reportedly organized by political activist and conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, who says she plans to be there all day with the other supporters. Loomer also organized a rally in June in Miami when Trump was arraigned on 37 total counts related to keeping classified documents containing national defense information at his Florida home.
