The imminent release of President Trump’s mugshot following his arraignment at Atlanta on Thursday has both his most devoted fans and fiercest detractors excited. The first booking photo of an American president is likely to enter the pantheon of Americana alongside famous photos of presidents and celebrities alike. 

Mr. Trump is set to be arraigned in a courtroom at Fulton County, Georgia, on Thursday on 13 felony charges of racketeering, among other allegations.

Some of those co-defendants have already surrendered to the court and have had their mugshots released to the public.
