The moment we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived: Donald Trump’s mugshot has been released to the world.
With a furrowed brow and scowl, the former President posed for his mugshot at Fulton county sheriff’s office in Georgia in his trademark navy suit and red tie yesterday.
Trump was booked by the sheriff’s office in Georgia after announcing his intention to surrender, following his indictment for allegedly attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. At the jail, Trump was formally arrested and will have had to have his fingerprints taken and his height and weight measured. He was released ahead of the trial in October after paying $200,000 in bail.
With this photo, Trump has become the first former US president to have a mugshot taken and released to the public. According to sources close to the former president, he chose to scowl in his booking photo because he wanted to appear ‘defiant’.
