Trump mugshot should stay private, attorney says

An attorney for Donald Trump opposed the former president’s imminent mugshot being released, saying that it’s “not going to help anything” as he runs for re-election.

Following his indictment over alleged hush money payments, Trump plans to fly to Manhattan to surrender on Tuesday morning, where he’ll be arraigned, fingerprinted and photographed. When asked whether there should be cameras in the courtroom during Trump’s trial, Alina Habba, one of his attorneys, said she isn’t opposed to the idea.

When it comes to the former president’s mugshot, however, Habba said that should stay private since he’s running for president in 2024.
