Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Donald Trump, who on Tuesday became the first former U.S. president to be indicted, is looking to generate some cash from supporters by selling T-shirts with a fake mug shot. On Tuesday, Trump was arraigned and charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The former president and TV personality pleaded not guilty to the charges. Trump was not expected to have his mug shot taken after he surrendered to authorities in Manhattan. But that didn’t stop Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign from trying to cash in on the unprecedented arrest and indictment.
Shortly before Trump’s arraignment in New York at the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse, the Trump campaign’s official online store listed a T-shirt for sale for $36 (pictured above) showing what seems to be a mug shot of Trump above the words “Not Guilty.” The listing is labeled “Official Trump Mugshot White Cotton T-Shirt,” with no indication that it’s not an actual mug shot taken by law enforcement officials.
Meanwhile, other possible charges against Trump are pending, including an investigation into the former president’s involvement with the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. The investigation concluded in Dec. 2022, with the January 6th Committee referring potential criminal charges to the Department of Justice. Trump — who has repeatedly and falsely claimed he won the 2020 election — was kicked off major internet platforms in the wake of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

McKinley Franklin author After Donald Trump’s arrest on Tuesday, many celebrities took to Twitter to express their joy on the historic moment. The former president’s arraignment in Lower Manhattan is tied to his involvement in a “hush money” scheme associated with adult film star Stormy Daniels. Trump has plead not guilty to all 34 counts of falsifying business records. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has been investigating Trump’s $130,000 payoff payment to Daniels to stay silent about her alleged affair with the former president. Michael Cohen advanced the payment to Daniels in 2016, leading to falsified business records and a false reflection of payment reimbursement from the Trump Organization. While “hush money” payoffs are not criminal offenses, the way in which the transaction was carried out has been recognized as a misdemeanor, which subsequently lead to Trump’s arrest.

Although he will not be handcuffed, get a mug shot or be given a perp walk, he was effectively arrested by surrendering to the court. The April 4 arraignment is about to take place in a Lower Manhattan courtroom. Trump was spotted leaving Trump Tower in Manhattan around 1:10 pm EST and then drove downtown in a large motorcade.

Katie Reul editor Class is back in session with “Abbott Elementary” creator and star Quinta Brunson, whose April 1 hosting debut on “Saturday Night Live” featured a comedic lesson on why she and her character, Janine Teagues, are actually nothing alike. “I love that people are enjoying ‘Abbott,’ but I wish that they didn’t expect me to be exactly like my character all the time in public. Janine Teagues is a second grade teacher who is caring and wholesome, but I’m the opposite. I mean, I’m not a filthy whore but I like to have fun,” Brunson joked. For viewers not familiar with Brunson, the actor provided a biting description of her acclaimed mockumentary series that caused an eruption of laughter among the crowd: “It’s a network sitcom, like ‘Friends,’ but instead of being about a group of friends it’s about a group of teachers, instead of New York it’s Philadelphia and instead of not having Black people, it does.”
