Former President Donald Trump was arrested today (8/24/2023) at the Fulton County Jail on felony charges related to efforts to overturn the 2020 Presidential election results in Georgia. This arrest marks the first among his four indictments this year where a mug shot was taken, and it was released shortly after he left the jail.
Here is his mug shot:
Trump secured his release by using a local bail bondsman, as confirmed by a bonding agent. The Fulton County Jail, where he was booked, is known for its history of violence and poor conditions.
The arrest comes as part of a broad investigation overseen by District Attorney Fani Willis, which includes racketeering charges against Trump and 18 co-defendants, such as Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows, many of whom have already surrendered. This follows a federal judge’s decision yesterday to deny requests by Meadows and Jeffrey Clark to delay their arrests, setting a deadline of noon tomorrow for all defendants to voluntarily surrender.
However, that didn’t stop Trump from communicating directly to the people. After a long absence from Twitter, stretching from January 8, 2021, to August 24, 2023, former President Donald Trump has made a dramatic return to the social media platform. With a single tweet featuring his mugshot and the words “Election interference. Never surrender!”, Trump signaled his re-entry into the Twitterverse. Supporters and critics alike were left agog, dissecting the implications of the tweet, which linked to his personal website, DonaldJTrump.com.
Donald Trump has leveraged his return to Twitter as a platform for direct communication. His dramatic re-entry tweet encapsulates his defiant stance as a rebel who need not communicate to the media but directly to the people. One question remains: now that he has made his comeback post, can we expect him to stay? It seems like he has officially warmed up to the idea. Time will tell.
