Donald Trump's mugshot was not taken while he was under arrest, however, his cheeky presidential campaign team could not afford to lose the opportunity to exploit what would have been an infamous image.
Mr Trump appeared before Judge Juan Merchan today and pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.
While the former US President was being arraigned, a fundraiser email was sent out to his supporters promoting a T-shirt emblazoned with a fake mugshot.
