Fulton County Sheriff's Office
- Former President Donald Trump turned himself into Fulton County, Georgia, authorities Thursday.
- In his mugshot that has been made public, Trump is wearing a deep scowl and navy suit.
- Trump entered a "not guilty" plea to the 13 criminal charges brought against him in the indictment.
Donald Trump's mugshot has been released.
The historic photo — the first of an ex-president to be charged with crimes — was taken after Trump surrendered to authorities in Fulton County, Georgia, on Thursday after a sprawling indictment that accuses him and 18 others of trying to overturn the 2020 election in the state.
After being booked at the Fulton County courthouse, Trump was fingerprinted and had his mugshot taken.
Fulton County Jail records say that Trump is 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 215 pounds. That is 24 pounds less than what the White House doctor recorded in 2018. The New York Times reported that Trump's aides may have filled out the forms for the county jail records.
Unlike in Trump's prior indictments, Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat said in early August that he and law enforcement planned to follow its "normal practices" if Trump was charged — including getting and releasing a mugshot.
True to Labat's word, Trump's mugshot shows the former president in his obligatory navy suit, red tie, and scowl.
Trump hasn't been arraigned in the case, where he faces 13 criminal charges, including solicitation to commit election fraud, making false statements, conspiracy, racketeering, and violations of his oath of office.
Fulton County DA said on the night the indictment was announced that she wanted Trump and his 18 co-conspirators to turn themselves in by August 25, meaning Trump got in right before the deadline.
On Monday, Trump agreed to pay a $200,000 bond, marking the first time the former president had to post a bond to secure his court appearances.
In April, following his arraignment in New York over alleged hush-money payments to an adult film star, Trump's campaign sold t-shirts with a fake mugshot of the embattled former president.
A presidential historian said in March that if Trump's mugshot is made public, it will likely be spread far and wide, further cementing his status as a "folk hero" of sorts among his supporters.
