  • Maggie Haberman said Trump made a "menacing" face in his mugshot to dispel any notion of weakness.
  • "That does not mean he's enjoying any of this. This is a serious thing," she told CNN's Jake Tapper.
  • The Trump campaign on Saturday announced that they have raised $7.1 million since Thursday.

New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman last week said that there was a clear reason why former President Donald Trump gave such a hard stare in the mugshot taken after he turned himself in at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta: his refusal to project any form of weakness.
