A judge in Georgia overseeing former US President Donald Trump’s election interference case has set a bail bond of $200,000 (£157,000).
Mr Trump and his 18 co-defendants have until midday Friday to surrender themselves to a court in Atlanta.
The bail filing says Mr Trump can remain free pending trial so long as he does not attempt to threaten or intimidate witnesses.
Mr Trump denies 13 charges, including racketeering and false statements.
“The defendant shall perform no act to intimidate any person known to him or her to be a co-defendant or witness in this case or to otherwise obstruct the administration of justice,” says the court filing posted on Monday.
“The above shall include, but are not limited to, posts on social media or reposts of posts made by another individual on social media,” the order adds.
The order was signed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is leading the prosecution, and lawyers for Mr Trump.
Ms Willis has asked the judge to schedule arraignments in which a defendant is formally charged and enters a guilty or not guilty plea on 5 September.
