Former President Donald Trump made the wrong kind of history Thursday, becoming the first current or former US president to get his mug shot taken while being booked at an Atlanta jail over his attempts to reverse the 2020 election results in Georgia.
Trump, 77, turned himself in to authorities at the Fulton County Jail following his grand jury indictment on Aug. 14 on charges including racketeering, conspiracy, false statements and asking a public official to violate their oath of office.
He was released on a $200,000 bond and agreed to an order limiting his ability to post on social media about witnesses or co-defendants in the case.
Getting his mugshot taken was “not a comfortable feeling — especially when you’ve done nothing wrong,” the former commander in chief told Fox News Digital hours later.
“They insisted on a mugshot and I agreed to do that,” he added. “This is the only time I’ve ever taken a mugshot.”
