Friday, August 25, 2023 11:57AMTom Negovan reports on the latest after former Pres. Donald Trump surrendered insided a jail in Atlanta on Thursday on charges that he illegally schemed to overturn the 2020 electiDonald Trump is back in Bedminster, New Jersey, just one day after making history as the first former U.S. president to have his mugshot taken.
His aides swiftly seized on the image, fundraising off the first mug shot in American history of a former president as representative of the persecution they contend Trump is encountering. His opponents, meanwhile, are likely to use it to remind voters of dangers in electing a president facing dozens of felony charges.
"We did nothing wrong at all. And you have every right, every single right to challenge an election that we think is dishonest," he told reporters. This fast timeline comes after co-defendant Kenneth Chesboro made a formal demand for a speedy trial, which a judge granted. Trump's team, however, has indicated that they'll ask for a separate trial - at a later date.It's unclear if Trump would have to attend this in person.
