He urged the\u2064 GOP to rally around election time to \u200densure the integrity of the\u200b voting process.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s wonderful whether\u2062 you vote on Tuesday or whatever,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;But the big\u200b thing is we don&#8217;t want fake ballots put in \u2013 okay? That&#8217;s the thing nobody ever talks about. We don&#8217;t want fake ballots put in, and that&#8217;s the most\u2063 important thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Trump&#8217;s Concern for Co-Defendants<\/h3>\n<p>Trump concluded by expressing his belief that his co-defendants have been unfairly \u200cdragged into the situation and that they are &#8220;high-quality people.&#8221; He called for their\u200b release from the &#8220;horrible thing&#8221; they are going through.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities released Trump&#8217;s mug shot\u200c shortly after his departure from the jail.
