Late Thursday night, former President Donald Trump was officially processed at the Fulton County jail in connection with state charges alleging that he conspired to subvert the outcome of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
Law enforcement authorities have confirmed that Trump underwent the standard procedures of being fingerprinted, and a booking photo, often referred to as a mugshot, was taken as part of his intake process. This marks the first occasion that the former president has had a mugshot taken.
Within Georgia’s jurisdiction, Trump faces a total of 13 distinct charges. Among these charges are allegations of racketeering, as well as multiple counts related to fraud and making false statements. The former president is one of 18 co-defendants involved in the case, and they are all required to surrender themselves by Friday, according to the set deadline.
This development marks a significant moment in the ongoing legal challenges that Trump is facing across multiple cases. The charges brought against him in Georgia are notably focused on his role in contesting the results of the 2020 election, adding a new dimension to the array of legal proceedings surrounding the former president.
