Donald Trump arrested for fourth time

The former president arrived in a big motorcade and turned himself in simply after 7.30pm. He was arrested, booked, fingerprinted, and had a mug shot taken — a historic first for a present or ex-president — earlier than being launched.
Mr Trump later posted the mug shot on Twitter and Truth Social in a defiant fundraising enchantment to supporters.
Before travelling to Georgia, Mr Trump ousted the highest legal professional in his authorized crew. He changed lawyer Drew Findling with Atlanta-based legal professional Steven Sadow, a “special counsel for white collar and high profile defense”.
Several of the previous president’s 18 codefendants within the case – together with former Trump attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, and former chief of workers Mark Meadows – have already surrendered and their humiliating mugshots have been launched.
District Attorney Fani Willis requested a trial date of 23 October for all defendants primarily based on the demand for fast trial by Kenneth Chesebro. Mr Trump has moved to sever his case from his co-defendant or another who makes such a transfer.
