*Donald Trump is the only sitting or former U.S. president to have a booking photo taken.
The now-viral picture shows him dressed in a blue suit and scowling as inmate number P01135809. As EUR reported previously, citing CNN, Trump surrendered at the Fulton County jail Thursday on more than a dozen charges stemming from his efforts to reverse Georgia’s 2020 election results, the fourth time this year the former president has faced criminal charges. Trump agreed to a $200,000 bond and other release conditions, including not using social media to target the co-defendants and witnesses in the case.
Trump covered the cost of his $200,000, bond by putting 10% toward it and working with a local Atlanta bonding company called Foster Bail Bonds LLC, sources told CNN.
Following his release on bond, Trump told reporters, “It’s a very sad day for America. This should never happen. If you challenge an election, you should be able to challenge an election.”
Per Mediaite, he continued, “I thought the election was a rigged election, a stolen election, and I should have every right to do that. As you know, you have many people that you’ve been watching over the years doing the same thing, whether it’s Hillary Clinton or Stacey Abrams or many others,” Trump said.
“When you have that great freedom to challenge, you have to be able to otherwise you can have very dishonest elections. What has taken place here is a travesty of justice. We did nothing wrong, I did nothing wrong, and everybody knows it,” he explained.
“I’ve never had such support, and that goes with the other ones too. What they’re doing is election interference. They’re trying to interfere with an election. There’s never been anything like it in our country before. This is their way of campaigning, and this is one instance, but you have three other instances,” Trump told reporters, per Mediaite.
“It’s election interference. So I want to thank you for being here. We did nothing wrong at all, and we have every right, every single right to challenge an election that we think is dishonest, that we think is very dishonest,” Trump continued.
