Trump would receive the mug shot during the discovery phase of the criminal case and could release it himself, a former federal prosecutor said.
After Donald Trump’s grand jury indictment last week, there has been much speculation about the details of his expected arraignment Tuesday, including the possibility of a mug shot and if it will be released to the public.
Last week, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office announced that it was in contact with Trump’s attorneys «to coordinate his surrender» in New York City following the indictment, which remains under seal. The specific charges against Trump remain undisclosed until the indictment is unsealed.
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg had been investigating possible falsified business records or campaign finance violations in connection with an alleged hush money payment to former adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign.
