He was released on $200,000 bond and headed back to the airport for his return flight home to New Jersey. Dozens of his supporters gathered outside.
The mug shot, released by Georgia authorities on Thursday, saw the former President glaring at the camera. This was also the first time his mug shot was taken, as he did not have to submit to a photograph when making appearances in his three other criminal cases.
Trump landed in Atlanta shortly after 7 p.m. and was driven, through the city's rush-hour traffic, to jail for the booking process. Wearing his signature white shirt and red tie, he offered a wave and thumbs up as he descended the steps of his private plane.
He completed the process in 20 minutes, providing officials as is customary with his physical measurements: 6 foot 3 inches. 215 pounds. Strawberry or blond hair.
This was his fourth arrest in five months in a criminal case, but this was his first police booking photo.
Interestingly, Trump also made a comeback to X, formerly Twitter. In his first post since January 2021, Trump He shared the address of his website and the mugshot with an all-capital letters caption: "Election interference. Never surrender!"
