Donald Trump is now “on file” as any litigant who goes on trial, with his detailed physical characteristics: 1m 90, 98kg, strawberry blond hair. and registration number P01135809.
The favorite in the 2024 Republican presidential primary was released on $200,000 bail and soon left this Atlanta prison in a maximum-security motorized convoy.

After he had to go through this legal process and before boarding his private jet again, Donald Trump denounced the “simulation of justice” and “election interference” by the indicting Georgia state authorities.
And the Republican platform confirmed: “I did nothing wrong” by questioning the results of the 2020 presidential election, which was won by Joe Biden.
Then he himself posted the majestic image, commenting on it: “Never give up!”, an example of his desire to fight what he considers an endless stalking, orchestrated by the Democratic administration of President Biden.
Before Donald Trump, several of the former president’s 18 co-defendants passed through the Fulton County Jail, an overcrowded and unsanitary facility, this week.
They were all charged on August 14 with illegal attempts to reverse the 2020 election, which incumbent Democratic President Joe Biden won in this key state.
Those who have already pushed the prison door, like Donald Trump’s former attorney Rudy Giuliani, have seen their passage immortalized and their “photos” circulated in circles on television and on social networks.

Mr. Sado had in the past criticized the Anti-Organized Crime Law used by the Public Prosecutor to bring joint charges against the 19 accused, which provides for prison terms of between five and 20 years.

The former president has pleaded not guilty to all of these cases.
But ironically, each development brings him millions of dollars in campaign donations, paid by Trump supporters convinced he is the victim of a political cabal.
The US President, who is running for re-election, is careful not to comment on the legal problems that Donald Trump faces, keen not to fuel his accusations of abuse of justice.
Trump’s passage through jail in Georgia came the day after the first big presidential rally of 2024, the Republican primary debate, was staged in Wisconsin.
The former real estate mogul shrugged off the debate, justifying himself with his impressive lead over his rivals in the polls, in favor of speaking in an interview with Tucker Carlson, the former star host of the conservative Fox News Channel, which aired on Channel X (formerly Twitter). ) At the same time.
