President Joe Biden declared Former President Donald Trump a "handsome guy," after asked by reporters whether he had seen his mugshot.
In a video on X, formerly known as Twitter, CSPAN interviewed President Biden about the recent developments of Donald Trump's federal case in Georgia where he is facing 13 felonious counts connected to his alleged efforts to overturn his loss in the 2020 election.
After reporters asked President Biden "Did you see Donald Trump's mugshot yet?" the president said Trump was a "handsome" and "wonderful guy."
Last evening, Trump underwent the booking process at the Fulton County jail on Rice Street, notorious for its putrid conditions and poor treatment of inmates. Trump was fingerprinted and, the only time out of his four indictments this year, posed for a mugshot.

His mugshot was released shortly after Trump made a swift exit from the jail; The former president was released within 20 mins of arrival, which some would call unusual. Before his mugshot was available, however, fake Ai-generated photos were circulating around X.
Some were simple and depicted the former president smoking a joint with anime sunglasses, while others depicted him as a woman. Trump spoke to reporters just outside his private jet and condemned the indictments saying they were just a politically-motivated witch hunt against a presidential candidate.

In Florida, he's accused of illegally harboring sensitive United States documents he took from the white house just before his presidential term ended. His charges include willful retention of national defense information under the espionage act and obstruction-related crimes.
Finally, in New York, he is accused of falsifying records in the first degree in connection to a hush-money scandal in which Trump had his former lawyer, Micheal Cohen, pay off Porn Star Stormy Daniels for her silence about an affair with Trump during his 2016 campaign.
Trump has recently skipped the first national G.O.P debate for an interview with former prime-time Fox News Host Tucker Carlson where he insulted his rivals, particularly Former Governor of Arkansas Asa Hutchinson, who Trump referred to as "Ada," and Florida Governor Ron Desantis, who he called "Ron Desanctimonious." One of the moderators at the debate referred to Trump as the "elephant not in the room." During the first half, candidates discussed issues like immigration and abortion. However, the second half mainly focused on Trump and his indictments. The majority, even the most vocal Trump critic, Chris Christie, of the candidates onstage said they would support him if he was convicted.
