With a defiant expression and a frown. so it appears Donald Trump in his mugshot photographafter turning himself in to the authorities in Fulton County, Georgia, for allegedly trying to interfere in the outcome of the presidential elections in that state, which is why was indicted last week.

The former US president has thus complied with the order of Justice and was delivered this Thursday at the Fulton prisonAtlanta, where he has barely stayed for 20 minutes before leaving released on $200,000 bailan amount that his lawyers had agreed with the Prosecutor’s Office.

There, the prison staff have recorded his weight and height -1.90 meters and 97 kilos-, they have fingerprinted and they have taken a photograph of him under arrest for the police file, a image that remains now for history as it was the first for a former US president.

The charge he faces in Georgia is the fourth charge that accumulates to the ex-republican president, after the case of bribed porn actress Stormy Danielsthe one of the classified documents that he took from the White House to his Florida mansion and that of the attempt to reverse his electoral defeat of 2020, when he lost to Democrat Joe Biden, which would lead to the assault on the Capitol.

However, this is the first time that the tycoon has had to turn himself in in a prison and that a photo has been taken of him under arrest, since on the previous occasions he only had to attend an arraignment in court.

In the case of Georgia, The prosecutor accuses Trump of 13 crimes for leading a plot with 18 allies to reverse the electoral results in that state, where Trump lost by a narrow margin to Biden and would have called the Secretary of State urging him to “seek” the votes he needed to win. If he were found guilty on all counts, the former president could be sentenced up to 76.5 years prison and, as it is a state sentence, could not pardon himself if he is president again.

Despite everything, and although he was not present this week at the first debate between the candidates, Trump, who had until this Friday to turn himself in voluntarily, does not seem to be affected by his legal cases and continues to be the big favorite in the republican primaries of the next year. His goal is to return to the White House in the 2024 presidential elections.
