P01135809, according to\u2062 Fulton County Jail records\u2014spent about 20\u200d minutes inside the jailhouse, where authorities had said they would take his mug shot.<\/p>\n<p>That represents a first \u2062for Trump, who \u200ddid not have to sit for a photograph when answering charges in his three other criminal cases.<\/p>\n<p>Before boarding his private plane at \u2063Atlanta&#8217;s Hartsfield-Jackson airport after\u2064 the booking, Trump repeated his claim that the prosecution\u2014along with prosecutors in the \u200cother indictments he \u2063faces\u2014is politically \u2064motivated.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What has taken place here is a travesty of justice,&#8221; he told reporters. &#8220;I did nothing wrong, and everybody knows it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Trump, 77, already has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-sense-of-an-ending\/\" title=\"The Sense of an Ending\">entered uncharted territory<\/a> as the first former U.S. president to face criminal \u2062charges, even as he mounts another campaign\u200c for the White House next year.<\/p>\n<p>Far from damaging his candidacy, however, the four cases filed \u2064against him have only bolstered\u2062 his standing among Republican voters. He holds a commanding polling lead in the race\u200b for the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic \u2062President Joe Biden in the November 2024 election.<\/p>\n<h3>Supporters Gather Outside the Jail<\/h3>\n<p>Dozens of supporters, waving Trump banners\u2063 and American flags, jostled for a glimpse as Trump arrived at the jail. Among the Trump backers gathered outside was Georgia U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor \u2064Greene, one of \u2064the former president&#8217;s most \u200cloyal congressional allies.<\/p>\n<p>Lyle Rayworth,\u2064 49, who is in the aviation\u2064 industry in the Atlanta area, had been waiting near the jailhouse for 10 hours, \u2064since early on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, I&#8217;m hoping he sees\u2064 me waving the\u200c flags, showing support,&#8221; Rayworth said as he\u200b awaited Trump&#8217;s arrival. &#8220;He needs us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The mug shot, which\u2063 was not immediately made available, adds Trump to the ranks of gangster Al Capone, crooner Frank Sinatra and other high-profile Americans\u200d who have posed for jailhouse photographs.<\/p>\n<p>The image is certain \u2063to be circulated widely\u200c by Trump&#8217;s foes and supporters alike.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We want \u2062to put it on a\u200b T-shirt. \u2064It will \u200cgo worldwide. It will be a more popular image than the Mona \u200cLisa,&#8221; said Laura Loomer, 30, a Republican former congressional candidate who mingled with other Trump supporters outside \u200dthe jail\u2062 on Thursday \u2064morning.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Earlier in the day, Judge Scott McAfee set a trial date of Oct. 23 for one of Trump&#8217;s 18 co-defendants, attorney Kenneth Chesebro, after Fulton\u2063 County District\u200d Attorney Fani Willis proposed that \u200bdate in \u2064response to \u200dChesebro&#8217;s request \u2062for a speedy trial. The judge&#8217;s order\u2064 said the schedule does not yet apply to Trump or any of\u200c the other defendants.<\/p>\n<p>At least 10 of his co-defendants already have been booked. Some, like Rudolph Giuliani, the \u2062former New York\u2062 mayor, were stone-faced in their mug shots, while others, such as lawyer Jenna Ellis, smiled for the camera.<\/p>\n<p>All 19 defendants\u2063 face a Friday deadline to surrender. Court records showed that Mark \u200dMeadows,\u2062 who served as Trump&#8217;s \u2063White House chief of staff, was \u200dprocessed\u200c at the jail on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The jail has a reputation for grim conditions that have inspired rap songs and prompted an investigation by the U.S. Justice Department.<\/p>\n<p>Trump faces 13 felony counts\u200b in the Georgia case, including racketeering, which is typically used to target organized \u2063crime, for pressuring state officials to reverse \u2064his election loss and setting up an illegitimate slate of electors to undermine the formal congressional certification of Biden&#8217;s 2020 victory.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Willis originally proposed a trial date of March 4 but moved it up for Chesebro after he asked that his trial start by October. Trump&#8217;s legal team has not yet proposed a date but is expected to push for\u200b a much later start. On Thursday, his newest Atlanta lawyer,\u2063 Steven Sadow, asked for \u2063Trump\u200c to \u200cbe\u2064 tried separately from Chesebro.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump has pleaded not guilty in\u2064 the three other cases and denied wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p>Manhattan District Attorney \u2064Alvin Bragg filed the first case, accusing Trump of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/are-the-charges-brought-against-the-trump-organizations-cfo-part-of-a-witch-hunt-experts-weigh-in\/\" title=\"Are The Charges Brought Against The Trump Organization\u2019s CFO Part Of A Witch Hunt? Experts Weigh In\">falsifying business records<\/a> to hide hush money payments to a porn star who claims to have had a sexual encounter with him\u2062 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also faces two sets of federal charges brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith\u2014one case in Washington involving election interference and one in Miami involving classified documents\u2063 he retained after leaving office in 2021. He faces 91 criminal counts in total.<\/p>\n<p>Trump agreed to post $200,000 bond and accepted bail conditions that would bar him from threatening witnesses or his co-defendants in the Georgia case.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans who control the U.S. House of Representatives said on Thursday they\u200d would investigate whether Willis improperly coordinated with federal prosecutors. They previously launched an \u2064investigation of Bragg, who accused them of \u2062a &#8220;campaign of\u2062 intimidation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Trump&#8217;s leading rivals in the race for the Republican presidential nomination met in Milwaukee for their first debate. Trump skipped that\u200d event, instead sitting for a pre-taped interview with conservative commentator Tucker Carlson aimed at siphoning away viewers.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been indicted four times\u2014all trivial nonsense,&#8221; Trump told Carlson.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>(Reporting by Rich McKay and Jack Queen in Atlanta; Additional reporting by Eric Beech, Costas Pitas,\u200b David Ljunggren,\u2064 Jack Queen, Jacqueline Thomsen, Kanishka Singh and Rami Ayyub; Writing by Andy Sullivan and Joseph Ax; Editing by Will Dunham, Scott Malone, Daniel Wallis and Howard Goller)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump, inmate no.
