Trump spoke with Fox News Digital on Thursday night following his now-viral mugshot taken at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia; he says authorities “insisted” on taking the picture.
“They insisted on a mug shot and I agreed to do that,” he said. “This is the only time I’ve ever taken a mug shot.”
He added: “It is not a comfortable feeling—especially when you’ve done nothing wrong.”
“This is all about election interference,” Trump said. “It all comes through Washington and the DOJ and Crooked Joe Biden—nothing like this has ever happened in our country before.”
From Fox News:
Trump said the United States is “doing horribly, but now, it is doing worse because we have become a Third World country.”
The court had set Trump’s bail at $200,000. He was quickly processed and released Thursday evening.
The jail records stated that Trump stands at 6 feet, 3 inches and 215 pounds. The records state he has “Blond or Strawberry” hair and blue eyes.
Fox News Digital has learned his formal arraignment, where he is expected to plead not guilty, will take place sometime early next month.
