Trump landed at Atlanta’s Hartfield-Jackson International Airport, before being escorted by a motorcade to Fulton County jail amid heavy security.
One of Trump’s most vocal supporters in Congress, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was also present at the venue and changed her profile picture on X—formerly known as Twitter—to look like a mug shot “to stand in solidarity” with the former president.
Once Trump’s historic mug shot was released to the public, his campaign was quick to turn into merchandise, including t-shirts and posters featuring the image and the text “Free Trump.”
Trump’s supporters held up signs supporting his 2024 campaign, claiming he “won” and urging him to “Save America,” while one of them drove a trailer that showed an edited image of several top Democrats, including President Joe Biden, former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton behind bars.
Several anti-Trump protesters were also present in the crowd, with signs calling Trump a “traitor” and celebrating the fact that he was “finally…arrested.”
$200,000. That is the bond amount Trump had to post before being released from prison. Jail records show $80,000 of the total was a surety bond for the racketeering charged under Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced And Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, along with $10,000 bonds for each of the other 12 charges against him.
