  • Trump was photographed looking gloomy at his golf course last week.
  • The Trump National Golf Club Bedminster was hosting the LIV Golf Invitational series tournament.
  • Days later, Trump was indicted in Georgia on racketeering and other charges.

Someone snapped pictures of former President Donald Trump when he was hanging out at his Bedminster golf club days before his indictment in Georgia, and they're quite something. 

The snapshots showed Trump looking grumpy at the LIV Golf Bedminister Tournament, close to a week before he was indicted for trying to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. The tournament was held at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, from August 11 to 13

His favorite sport might have lifted his mood momentarily when he got to take a few swings.

Off the course, Trump kept up a steady stream of posts on his social media platform, Truth Social. He penned several posts on August 9 airing his grievances about his multiple indictments, while insisting the charges against him are politically motivated. 

"Remember, these Indictments aren't "Legit," they were all thrown up at me, quickly and haphazardly, including the local ones, by my political opponent, Crooked Joe Biden," Trump wrote on August 9.

Trump is currently facing a full docket of lawsuits and investigations. The Georgia case is his fifth indictment, and the fourth criminal case he's been charged in. At the latest count, he faces 91 felony charges across the indictments, with the Georgia case being the most likely to land him in prison.

The Georgia indictment also brought charges against 18 defendants other than Trump — including former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, lawyer and known conspiracy theorist Sidney Powell, and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.    

A spokesman for Trump did not respond to specific queries from Insider about whether Trump was nervous about the indictment, and questioned why one would judge "someone's mood based off stock images."
