take a listen. terrible experience. i came in. i was treated very nicely, but it is what it is. i took a mugshot, which i never heard the words mugshot. they didn t teach me that at the wharton school of finance. i had to go through a process. election interference. and you can hear it in his voice. he is, obviously, not excited when he is talking about having to go through this and dealing with this. but i will say his team was very happy about the fact that that mugshot looked the way it did. they started fundraising off it and already put it on twitter trying to take control of that media narrative. thank you. joining us now former attorney for the house january 6th committee, cnn senior analyst elie honig, host of the of the
county jail as inmate p01135809. trump was only at the jail for about 20 minutes. he did turn himself in on the 13 felony charges for trying to overturn his election loss in georgia. this is trump s fourth arrest in five months, but it is the first time he s had a mug shot taken and this morning the photo is as we said on the front page of pretty much every newspaper and tabloid across the nation and around the world, sources tell cnn trump made the decision to look defiant in this mug shot. here is how he described his experience shortly after his release. terrible experience. i came in, i was treated very nicely. but it is what it is. i took a mug shot, which i never heard the words mug shot. that wasn t they didn t teach me that at the wharton school of finance. the former president flaunted that photo, his mug shot on twitter, now known as x, just two hours after he surrendered.
