Donald Trump Booked At Atlanta Prison: Stays For 20 Minutes, First Mug Shots Released

Donald Trump Booked: Former President of the United States – Donald Trump was taken into custody in the late hours of Thursday. The former President’s mug shots have been released as he got booked by the Atlanta jail. There were numerous charges against Trump that landed him in this situation. The charges were related to the President’s attempt to overturn the results of 2020 US elections.

The first mug shot

According to Fulton County Jail records, Trump’s inmate number is P01135809. He was seen glaring at the camera in the mug shot. Trump’s participation in the photograph was yet another remarkable event for him. This is because he wasn’t required to do so in any of his prior three criminal cases.

20 minutes in Jail as Donald Trump was booked

Trump only stayed at the jail for around 20 minutes before leaving to return to his golf resort in New Jersey. He reiterated his assertion that the prosecution, as well as the other charges he faces, are politically motivated at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport before getting on his private plane.

“What has taken place here is a travesty of justice,” he told reporters. “I did nothing wrong, and everybody knows it.”

First former President to face criminal charges

Even as he launches a second run for the White House in 2019, 77-year-old Trump has already broken new ground by becoming the first former American president to be charged with a crime.

Trump’s position seems to be unaffected by the charges

Rather than hurting his chances of winning the Republican Party nomination, the four lawsuits brought have rather strengthened them. In the Republican fight to unseat Democratic President Joe Biden in the November 2024 election, he enjoys a significant lead in the polls.

As Trump arrived at the jail, dozens of supporters crowded around to catch a sight while waving Trump banners and American flags. One of the former president’s most devoted legislative allies, Georgia U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, was among the Trump supporters waiting outside.
