Former President Donald Trump’s mugshot has been released after he was booked into the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia on Thursday.
The mugshot is the first ever taken by a former U.S. president and comes as Trump faces 13 charges relating to his alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state.

It marked the fourth time this year that Trump was booked on criminal charges. But unlike the previous arrests – which happened in courthouses just before his initial appearances before a judge – Thursday required that he turn himself in to the county jail.
