Former U.S President Donald Trump arrested

Former US president Donald Trump was arrested at a Georgia jail on Thursday on racketeering and conspiracy  charges for trying to overturn the 2020 election results in the southern state.

The ex president was arrested on racketeering and conspiracy charges and released on a $200,000 bond. Trump headed back home to New Jersey once he was released.

Trump’s surrender in Georgia marks the fourth time this year the former president has turned himself in to local or federal officials after criminal charges were brought against him.

He was fingerprinted and a booking photo, commonly known as a mugshot, was taken of the former president and later released to the public. Trump is facing charges in four separate criminal cases, but this is the first time he had a mugshot taken.

Trump is facing 13 separate counts in Georgia, including a racketeering charge and several fraud and false statement counts. The deadline for Trump and his 18 co-defendants in the case to turn themselves in is Friday.
