Alina Habba, a spokesperson for Donald Trump, said the mugshot was “one of the best things” to ever happen to the former president.
Trump was booked at Fulton County Jail on Thursday and had his mugshot taken. Trump was indictment in Georgia on 13 counts related to his attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election in the state, despite his loss to Joe Biden.
“They didn’t need the mugshot. It was, I guess to her, probably a trophy, but thank you, because now the trophy actually became ours,” Habba said, referring to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. “She wanted to get it done. We obviously had told her that no other jurisdiction required it, he is the single most famous man on the planet.”
“The American people aren’t stupid,” she continued. “The mugshot was probably one of the best things that ever happened to him probably at this point. So, thank you, Fani,” she added.
