Donald Trump arrested for fourth time

Donald Trump raised nearly $20m in the past three weeks, adding $7.1m since his scowling mug shot was released on Thursday, his presidential campaign spokesperson said.

The mug shot of the former president has been taken in a racketeering and fraud case in Atlanta, Georgia, and the last three weeks of his campaign roughly coincides with his indictment in federal and state cases.

His mug shot, posted by a Georgia courthouse on Thursday evening, has been turned into T-shirts, shot glasses, mugs, posters and even bobblehead dolls by friends and foes alike.

Mr Trump also shared a link to his campaign website in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, in what marked his first return to the social platform since he was banned in the wake of the January 6 Capitol riot.

Mr Trump was booked and released from the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta after surrendering to authorities on 13 charges of attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.

His booking photo represents the first and only time a current or former president has been forced to undergo a mug shot.
