Amongst different issues underneath negotiation: whether or not Trump can have his mug shot taken and whether or not it will get launched if he’s photographed (Trump authorized need no mug shot), in addition to which day the give up will occur.

When Trump was initially indicted within the categorized paperwork case, he wished his mugshot taken as a result of he thought it will assist his marketing campaign, however with indictment 4 within the books, Trump has modified his tune. Trump doesn’t need his mugshot taken. As an alternative, the marketing campaign has a photoshopped graphic they’ve been fundraising off of that they wish to maintain utilizing.
The Fulton County sheriff mentioned that Trump will probably be handled like anybody else who surrenders to regulation enforcement and won’t be given particular remedy. For the reason that warrant for Trump’s arrest has already been issued, the phrases of give up dialog is a courtesy. If Trump desires to carry out for no mugshot, the arrest warrant in opposition to him might be enforced after the Friday give up deadline.
If Trump is fearful concerning the injury {that a} mugshot would do politically, think about what would occur if there have been photos and video of the previous president in handcuffs.
Trump doesn’t have any negotiating leverage. The ex-president has gotten particular remedy in any respect of his earlier arraignments, so the American folks must see him handled like another perp in Georgia.
