Donald Trump will face a $200,000 (€185,000) bond and orders not to send threatening social media messages as the former US president awaits trial in Georgia on charges of trying to overturn his 2020 election loss, according to a court filing.
The document, a bond agreement signed by Mr Trump's lawyers and Fulton Country District Attorney Fani Willis, sets out release terms including restrictions on intimidating witnesses and obstructing justice.
"The above shall include, but are not limited to, posts on social media or reposts of posts made by another individual on social media," states the order, signed by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee.
Mr Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 Republican Party presidential nomination, and 18 co-defendants were indicted in the Georgia case on 14 August.
Ms Willis gave them until Friday to surrender to charges against them or face arrest.
Prosecutors in the case have proposed that the trial start on 4 March next, while Mr Trump's lawyers have asked for a 2026 trial.
Trump confirms he will skip Republican presidential debates
Mr Trump has said he will skip this week's first Republican presidential debate, arguing that Americans know him well so there is no need for a public showdown with his rivals for the White House.
In a message on his platform Truth Social, Mr Trump touted what he called a hugely successful record as president and what he described as his popularity among the American people.
"I WILL THEREFORE NOT BE DOING THE DEBATES!" he said.
The first debate in the race for the nomination is scheduled for Wednesday in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
In his post, Mr Trump noted the latest in a series of polls showing him far ahead of the Republican field.
It said 62% of those polled for the survey would vote for him even though he has been indicted four times this year.
Mr Trump's closest contender in the latest poll. from CBS, is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis at 16%.
The rest of those in the field are polling in the single digits.
Mr Trump wrote that DeSantis is "crashing like an ailing bird".
"The public knows who I am & what a successful Presidency I had," he said, citing issues including energy, border security and the military, and the economy.
The 77-year-old had been vocal about possibly skipping the debate in the midwesten city of Milwaukee, wary of sharing the limelight with lower-polling rivals.
The New York Times reported on Friday that Mr Trump had told aides he was planning to upstage his rivals by skipping the event, organised by Fox News, and instead sit for an online interview with one of Fox's former hosts, Tucker Carlson.
Even in his absence, Mr Trump will be ripe for broadsides from opponents over the four criminal and three civil trials he faces involving allegations before, during and after his scandal-plagued presidency.
"Obviously, his legal issues are affecting this race," Fox News host Bret Baier, who will be moderating the debate, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
"All these candidates have been asked non-stop about what's happening in courtrooms around the country. So he'll be a part of this debate whether he's there or not."
Seven other candidates have qualified for the debate, including state governors Ron DeSantis and Doug Burgum, former vice president Mike Pence, Mr Trump's United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott.
While Mr Trump dominates the field, polling well above his opponents, some allies worry that a no-show could give his rivals a chance to create a viral moment and gain momentum.
