Trump Indicted on Election Interference Charges
Attention Focused on Whether Mugshot Was Taken

Former U.S. President Donald Trump, who has been indicted on charges of interfering in the Georgia election, is scheduled to appear before prosecutors on the 24th (local time), drawing attention to whether a mugshot will be taken.

According to local media Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) on the 23rd, former President Trump is set to appear at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia on the 24th. He has been set a bail amount of $200,000 (approximately 260 million KRW).

Trump, who has been indicted for the fourth time since leaving office, was charged with pressuring Brad Raffensperger, Georgia's Secretary of State, in early January 2021 to "find 11,780 votes" to overturn the election results after narrowly losing the battleground state of Georgia in the 2020 presidential election.

During the previous three indictments, former President Trump appeared in court for arraignment proceedings where he publicly stated whether he acknowledged the charges. At that time, he was neither detained in jail nor subjected to mugshot photography or handcuffing.

However, the sheriff's office responsible for operating the Fulton County Jail in Georgia stated, "Everyone will be treated equally," indicating that former President Trump would be no exception.

In fact, when Rudy Giuliani, former New York mayor and an associate indicted alongside Trump by the Fulton County prosecutors, appeared at the Fulton County Jail on the 23rd, he was photographed for a mugshot just like other suspects, and the mugshot was made public.

As a result, there is speculation that former President Trump, who had previously received presidential privileges during his appearances before prosecutors, will not receive any special treatment this time.

Given this situation, online gambling sites are running bets on whether former President Trump will have a mugshot taken. On one site, various opinions are circulating about whether Trump will have a mugshot taken, whether he will smile during the photo, and what his approximate weight will be. Another gambling site is taking bets on whether Trump will be handcuffed.

Meanwhile, former President Trump is expected to voluntarily appear at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia, be temporarily detained, and then be released immediately after posting the already agreed bail of $200,000.

Meanwhile, the Fulton County Jail, where former President Trump will be briefly detained, is known for unsanitary and poor facilities and internal violence, with 15 inmates having died there last year alone. Up to August this year, 7 inmates have died.
