When former President Donald Trump is arraigned, he will be fingerprinted and potentially have his mug shot taken. But whether the photograph ever sees the light of day is another question.
On Tuesday, Trump is expected to appear at the Manhattan courthouse to face criminal charges related to alleged hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Until then, the exact charges are sealed. Other details that remain murky include what will happen with the former president’s mug shot.
Typically, the process calls for the defendant to be read their Miranda rights, taken into custody, given a booking number, fingerprinted and photographed. But those photographs usually are not made public because of New York laws.
