Marjorie Taylor Greene releases fake mugshot in solidarity as Trump turns himself in to Georgia officials

Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene posted a mocked-up mugshot on X on Thursday, a gesture of solidarity with her ally Donald Trump, who turned himself in to Fulton County officials the same day to face state charges that he conspired to subvert the 2020 election.

“I stand with President Trump against the commie DA Fani Willis who is nothing more than a political hitman tasked with taking out Biden’s top political opponent,” Ms Greene, a Georgia Republican, wrote on X, referencing the local prosecutor leading the case against Mr Trump and 18 associates.

Ms Greene added the hashtag “MAGAMugshot” to the post.

The post from the far-right Ms Greene likely won’t make it into the history books, but Mr Trump’s potential mugshot surely will.

Georgia officials have suggested the former president will be booked and photographed like any other defendant in Fulton County.

“Unless someone tells me differently, we are following our normal practices and so it doesn’t matter your status, we’ll have a mugshot ready for you,” Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat said at a press conference this month.
