The team behind former President Donald Trump has raked in over $9.4 million since he had his mug shot taken last week in Fulton County, Georgia.
Upwards of $20 million was brought in by the Trump campaign in August, and nearly half of that has come in since the former president was processed, according to a report.

T-Shirt: 36,000 ($1.7m)
Coffee Mug: 24,000 ($864k)

Furthermore, over 24,000 coffee mugs brought in $864,000, and 8,600 posters earned $352,000, the report noted.
All the money earned from mug shot merchandise is "earmarked" to be used for Trump's campaign and not to be used for his legal fees, according to the report.
Officials in Fulton County insisted that the 45th president have his image taken.

Trump said he did not enjoy the experience.
It was "not a comfortable feeling — especially when you've done nothing wrong," he said.
