Trump to be charged Tuesday with 34 felony counts, but spared handcuffs and mug shot

Donald Trump will be placed under arrest on Tuesday and informed that he has been charged with 34 felony counts for falsification of business records, according to a source who has been briefed on the procedures for the arraignment of the former president.

A New York City Police arrest report summarizing the charges against Trump will then be prepared and entered into the court system before he is led into a courtroom to be formally arraigned on the charges, none of which are misdemeanors.

But, the source said, Trump will not be put in handcuffs, placed in a jail cell or subjected to a mug shot — typical procedures even for white-collar defendants until a judge has weighed in on pretrial conditions. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office, which has been consulting with the Secret Service and New York City court officials, concluded that there was no reason to subject the former president to handcuffs or a mug shot.

It looks like the walls are closing in on Trump. The wheels of justice turn slowly but they do prevail.

There'll probably be a mass shooting over this by some deranged Trump supporter.

It's sick and twisted you are wishing this to happen.

He's not wishing for this to happen but after Jan. 6 it's safe to say that unhinged Trump supporters could resort to violence when Trump is arraigned.

Not like he really needs to have a mug shot since there is Google.

That's true but it would be fun to see Trump's mugshot. 🤡

I’d wear his mugshot on a Tshirt!

It would be a bestseller.

There will be a mug shot, but it's not supposed to be released.

Why You Should Beware a Flood of Fake Trump Mugshots https://time.com/6268286/donald-trump-fake-mugshots/

Former President Donald Trump will have his mugshot taken Tuesday when he surrenders to the Manhattan District Attorney’s office. But it’s not entirely clear when or even if that historic image will be made public. The state of New York does not normally release mug shot photos.

So on Monday, barring a leak from someone on the inside, a few Trump supporters began discussing ways to create fake mugshots. In online pro-Trump groups, they spread false rumors that New York officials had removed all criminal mugshots from the Internet in order not to have to release the former President’s photo. “Let’s make our own version and circulate it!” one person posted on a popular pro-Trump forum. “No one will know what’s real!” Another person posted “If they don’t release the mugshot immediately, just stage a mugshot as to not hold up any billboards, t-shirts, posters, or fundraising drives.”

For Trump, the historic mug shot image could be used as fuel for campaign attacks ads and donor appeals to capture the collective sense of grievance among the MAGA faithful. Trump has already raised more than $5 million after news broke on Thursday that a Manhattan grand jury indicted him over charges related to hush money payments to a porn star ahead of the 2016 election.

It amazes me that there are still people willing to send their hard earned money to a supposed billionaire. He will never be president again. I guess stupid cannot be fixed.
