Trump Campaign Claims Torture, Launches Mugshot Merchandise
Donald Trump’s campaign team has claimed the former US president was “tortured” when he turned himself into a Georgia jail last August.
“I want you to remember what they did to me. They tortured me in the Fulton County Jail, and TOOK MY MUGSHOT. So guess what?” a new fundraising pitch from his camp said on Monday, June 24. “I put it on a mug for the WHOLE WORLD TO SEE!”
The campaign is now offering fans the chance to purchase “limited edition” coffee cups and T-shirts featuring Trump’s mugshot from his booking.
Trump was the first former US president to have his mugshot taken and be booked in jail for a criminal case.
Initially, he faced 13 counts for alleged 2020 election tampering in Georgia, but that number has since been reduced to 10.
After his booking, Trump’s fundraising efforts raised $4.18 million in 24 hours, selling T-shirts and other memorabilia with the mugshot.
His team later raised $53 million in a 24-hour period following his conviction in the Manhattan “hush money” case.
The campaign is offering the mug for a $47 donation to Trump’s 2024 election effort.
A February report from WinRed, the Republican’s online fundraising platform, confirmed Trump raised $4.2 million the day after his mugshot was released.
Trump still faces sentencing in the Manhattan business fraud case, where he was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying documents.
He is also under indictment for allegedly mishandling classified documents found at his Mar-a-Lago, Florida, home.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
