: Donald J. Trump made history on Thursday, becoming the first U.S. president to pose for a mug shot.
• The 6′ 3″, 215-pound entrepreneur turned himself in to state authorities in Georgia, where he faces more than a dozen felony charges for allegedly challenging the results of a “rigged” election.
• “What has taken place is a travesty of justice,” Trump told reporters afterward. “I did nothing wrong, and everyone knows it.”
