Donald Trump heads to Georgia to surrender in election case

Donald Trump posts mug shot after surrendering in Georgia election interference case BEDMINSTER, New Jersey -- Donald Trump is back in Bedminster, New Jersey, just one day after making history as the first former U.S. president to have his mugshot taken.

The Fulton County Sheriff's Office released Trump's mugshot shortly after his surrender at the county jail on charges that he conspired with others to overturn the 2020 election in that state.

His aides swiftly seized on the image, fundraising off the first mug shot in American history of a former president as representative of the persecution they contend Trump is encountering. His opponents, meanwhile, are likely to use it to remind voters of dangers in electing a president facing dozens of felony charges.

The roughly 20-minute arrest and booking saw Trump fingerprinted, assigned an inmate number and later released on $200,000 bond. He headed back to the airport for his return flight home to New Jersey.
