Donald Trump arrest LIVE | Trump's much-awaited mug shot released by Fulton County jail

Donald Trump himself has shared the historic mugshot. The businessman posted the picture on his social media platform, Truth Social, along with the words 'Election interference' and 'never surrender'. 

The historic mug shot that is predicted to be a viral phenomenon is out. Trump, who was on Thursday arrested for the fourth time, failed to dodge the humiliating criminal snapshot aka mug shot. The soon-to-be viral image has been released by the Fulton County Sheriff's office. 

As per Fulton County jail records posted online, inmate no P01135809 aka Trump, spent about 20 minutes inside the jail house.

Records show that he was booked for 13 different charges, including racketeering, which is typically used to target organised crime, for pressuring state officials to reverse his election loss and setting up an illegitimate slate of electors to undermine the formal congressional certification of Biden's 2020 victory.

Former US president Donald Trump has left Fulton County jail premises after completing the booking process. AS per CNN, he was at the jail for about 20 minutes.

Upon his departure from the Fulton County jail, his motorcade is now returning to Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

As per Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat, former US president Donald Trump was made to undergo the mug shot process. However, the much awaited picture is yet to be released.

Donald Trump was arrested and booked at the Fulton County jail. Records list him as a six foot three inches tall individual with blue eyes and blonde or strawberry hair, and weighing 215 pounds. 

As per reports, he has been released on the $200,000 bond. There is no news about the much-awaited mug shot.

Donald Trump has been formally arrested Thursday on racketeering and conspiracy charges in Georgia. The former US president is battling his fourth criminal indictment.

Surrounded by a tight security perimeter, the 77-year-old billionaire was booked at Atlanta's Fulton County Jail, as hordes of journalists and dozens of the Republican supporters flocked to the facility.

Donald Trump, as per CNN, has reached the Fulton County jail where he will surrender. His co-defendants who have already surrendered all had to have their mug shots clicked. It remains unclear whether the former US president will be subjected to the same. 

According to the Fulton County Sheriff's Office, being taken into custody in jail means the defendant is technically "under arrest." The defendants are then expected to be fingerprinted and have their mug shot taken, said Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat.

Normally, those taken into custody are also subjected to a thorough body search and undergo a medical screening and receive a pre-trial consultation to determine whether they can sign out.

Thanks to the $200,000 bond which lets him stay free as his case goes to trial, Donald Trump will bypass jail time. As per Guardian, the former president is on a plane and should be landing at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport soon.

Donald Trump's newly hired lawyer, Steven Sadow, will reportedly accompany him to the Fulton County jail on Thursday, reports CNN.

As per the report, Sadow is waiting at the Atlanta airport and will join Trump's motorcade to travel to the jail. 

Fulton County Jail, the facility in Georgia where Donald Trump is scheduled to surrender, is reportedly an overcrowded facility that, as per news agency AFP, is under investigation by the Justice Department for a slew of inmate deaths and deplorable living conditions.

For Donald Trump, the bond was set at $200,000. Among other things, the bond requires him to refrain from using social media "to target his 18 co-defendants in the case, as well as any witnesses and the 30 un-indicted co-conspirators."

While Donald Trump has successfully evaded the humiliation of getting a mugshot clicked in his previous three arrests — New York, on charges of paying hush money to a porn star; Florida, for mishandling top secret government documents, and Washington, on charges of conspiring to upend his 2020 election loss. 

However, as per AFP, Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat said that in Georgia, the standard procedure is for a defendant to have a mugshot taken before they are released on bond. With this, Trump will create history as the first former US president to submit to a mug shot

Former President Donald Trump has replaced his top lawyer who led his defence in Georgia hours before his planned surrender in the election subversion case.

Steven Sadow, an Atlanta-based attorney whose website profile describes him as a “special counsel for white collar and high-profile defence”, will now be the leading attorney for Trump replacing Drew Findling.
