Not two hours after former President Donald Trump left the Fulton County, Georgia, jail, his joint fundraising committee was already selling merchandise featuring his booking photo.
The former president left the Fulton County Jail at 7:55 p.m. Thursday, and for the first time in his four indictments on felony charges, authorities took — and released — Trump’s mug shot. By 9:22 p.m., the Trump Save America Joint Fundraising Committee was selling T-shirts, mugs, beverage coolers, bumper stickers and other merchandise with Trump’s face and the words “never surrender.”
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Not two hours after former President Donald Trump left the Fulton County, Georgia, jail, his joint fundraising committee was already selling merchandise featuring his booking photo.
The former president left the Fulton County Jail at 7:55 p.m. Thursday, and for the first time in his four indictments on felony charges, authorities took — and released — Trump’s mug shot.
In a fundraising email, Trump said he “walked into the lion’s den with one simple message on behalf of our entire movement: I WILL NEVER SURRENDER OUR MISSION TO SAVE AMERICA.”
Ultimately, the former president wanted to look “defiant” in the face of charges that he thinks are politically motivated, CBS News has been told.
Before he boarded his plane back to New Jersey, Trump told reporters that he and his co-defendants “did nothing wrong,” calling it “a very sad day for America.”
Trump’s co-defendants include former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani; his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows; and attorneys Sidney Powell and Jenna Ellis.
