Former President Donald Trump was booked in the Fulton County jail in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday evening on felony charges related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Trump turned himself in at the facility and was processed and then released on a $200,000 bond roughly 30 minutes after arriving.
The Fulton County Sheriff’s office released Trump’s mugshot not long after he left the jail. This is the first time a mug shot has been taken of a former president, and marks an instantly historic image.
The charges are part of a larger indictment against 19 people, including Trump’s lawyers, Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, and his former chief of staff Mark Meadows. All defendants need to put up 10% of the bail amount — $20,000 in Trump’s case — and the bond is meant to ensure they show up for court appearances.
This is Trump’s fourth indictment this year. He is due to appear in Fulton County Superior Court to enter a plea at a later date.
