Donald Trump‘s mugshot has been released from Georgia Jail. After being officially processed at an Atlanta jail on several felony charges related to his attempts to rig the Georgia 2020 election, the former US president Donald Trump’s mugshot has been made public.
According to records from the Fulton County Jail, Trump was booked as inmate no. P01135809 and his mugshot shows him with a serious expression.
The moment stands out as extraordinary because Donald Trump was required to have his picture taken, unlike in his previous criminal cases.

Before heading back to his golf club in New Jersey, the former president spent just 20 minutes in jail.
He reiterated his opinion that the charges against him, including this case, are motivated by political factors as he boarded his private plane at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport.

In a statement to reporters, he asserted, “What has taken place here is a travesty of justice. I did nothing wrong, and everybody knows it.”
Donald Trump, 77, is the first former president of the United States to be accused of a crime. Surprisingly, these legal issues appear to be improving rather than hurting his chances of winning the Republican Party nomination to challenge Democratic incumbent President Joe Biden in the upcoming election.
Despite his legal troubles, Donald Trump continues to lead the Republican primary field. Outside the jail, his supporters gathered, including US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Loyalists even speculated that the picture might become famous, much like the Mona Lisa, according to Laura Loomer.
A trial date for one of Trump’s co-defendants has been set for October 23, but the legal proceedings are still ongoing. Eleven more people, including celebrities like Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis, have already undergone processing.
Donald Trump is accused of exerting pressure on state officials and attempting to obstruct the official certification of Biden’s victory. He is facing 13 felony charges, including racketeering. Although he insists on his innocence, these accusations present a rare circumstance in American politics.
