The mugshot Americans have been waiting to see is finally here minutes after President Trump departed Georgia.
As confirmed by Fox News, the below mugshot was taken of President Trump when he was processed and arrested by the Fulton County jail on Thursday evening. This is the first time in U.S. history that a president has ever had a mugshot taken of them.
Thursday marks the fourth arrest President Trump has faced, including 13 charges by Fulton County DA Fani Willis. All charges are related to a phone call he made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger regarding his concerns about irregularities in the 2020 presidential election. 18 former and current Trump allies were charged in the same case.
According to Fox News, the charges include:
“The 13 counts against Trump include: violating the Georgia RICO Act – the Racketeer Influenced And Corrupt Organizations Act; Solicitation of Violation of Oath by a Public Officer; Conspiracy to Commit Impersonating a Public Officer; Conspiracy to Commit Forgery in the First Degree; Conspiracy to Commit False Statements and Writings; Conspiracy to Commit Filing False Documents; Conspiracy to Commit Forgery in the First Degree; Filing False Documents; and Solicitation of Violation of Oath by a Public Officer.”
Fulton County Sheriff’s Office released the full charges as well as the bond amount as President Trump was being processed.
On Thursday afternoon, President Trump took to Truth Social to express his frustrations about the charges.
“…I have to start getting ready to head down to Atlanta, Georgia, where Murder and other Violent Crimes have reached levels never seen before, to get ARRESTED by a Radical Left, Lowlife District Attorney, Fani Willis, for A PERFECT PHONE CALL, and having the audacity to challenge a RIGGED & STOLEN ELECTION. THE EVIDENCE IS IRREFUTABLE! ARREST TIME: 7:30 P.M.”
Following his arrest, President Trump told reporters, “What has taken place here is a travesty of justice…I did nothing wrong,” and insisted that this latest arrest is simply “election interference.”
