Donald Trump left an Atlanta jail after he was booked on more than a dozen felony charges on Thursday as part of a wide-ranging criminal case stemming from the former U.S. president's attempts to overturn his 2020 election defeat in Georgia.
Authorities had said they expected to take Trump's mug shot at Fulton County Jail - a first for Trump, who did not have to sit for a photograph when making initial appearances in three other criminal cases.Trump's motorcade left the jail about 20 minutes after entering and headed toward Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson airport, where his private jet was waiting to ferry him back to his New Jersey golf club.
People watch as the motorcade with former President Donald Trump travels to the Fulton County Jail, Thursday, Aug. 24, 2023, in Atlanta. The mug shot adds Trump to the ranks of gangster Al Capone, crooner Frank Sinatra and other high-profile Americans who have posed for jailhouse photographs."We want to put it on a T-shirt. It will go worldwide. It will be a more popular image than the Mona Lisa," said Laura Loomer, 30, a Republican former congressional candidate who mingled with other Trump supporters outside the jail on Thursday morning.
At least 10 of his co-defendants already have been booked. Some, like Rudolph Giuliani, the former New York mayor, were stone-faced in their mug shots, while others, such as lawyer Jenna Ellis, smiled for the camera. Trump faces 13 felony counts in the Georgia case, including racketeering, which is typically used to target organized crime, for pressuring state officials to reverse his election loss and setting up an illegitimate slate of electors to undermine the formal congressional certification of Biden's 2020 victory.Willis originally proposed a trial date of March 4 but moved it up for Chesebro after he asked that his trial start by October.
Supporters of President Donald Trump and onlookers gather outside of the Fulton County Jail, Thursday, Aug. 24, 2023, in Atlanta.
