Trump won’t be handcuffed and there will be no mugshot.
According to a report from The Daily Wire, former President and 2024 candidate Donald Trump will be charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records —but it won’t be the spectacle Democrats were hoping to see.
From The Daily Wire:
Trump will not be handcuffed, will not have his photo taken, and will not be placed in a jail cell, all of which are standard, even for white-collar for defendants, [a Yahoo News] report said.
The 34 felony counts that Trump is facing are Class E felonies, which are the lowest level felonies in the state and carry up to 4 years in prison per charge.
The report noted that New York law enforcement officials indicated that “no one gets jail time for that as a first offender.”
