Donald Trump arrested: Mug shot released after booking – a first for any US president

Hindustan Times  

A historic Donald Trump's criminal mug shot was released on Thursday evening after he was booked at an Atlanta jail on charges that he conspired to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. Like the other defendants in the case who have surrendered so far, the 77-year-old Trump had his mug shot taken during the booking process -- a first for any serving or former US president. Trump posted the mug shot on his own Truth Social platform with the caption “Election Interference” and a link to his campaign website. Trump was able to dodge having a mug shot taken during his previous arrests this year: in New York on charges of paying hush money to a porn star, in Florida for mishandling top secret government documents, and in Washington on charges of conspiring to upend his 2020 election loss to Democrat Joe Biden.
