Trump posts mug shot on X in return to social media platform
Trump has posted his mug shot on his X account, marking his first post on the social media platform since Jan. 8, 2021.
Trump was suspended from X -- then known as Twitter -- following the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. He hadn't tweeted since new owner Elon Musk reinstated his Twitter account in November 2022 -- instead using his Truth Social platform to post messages.
Trump posted his mug shot on Truth Social as well.
Both posts linked to Trump's 2024 campaign website, where the mug shot was also used as part of a fundraising pitch.

Judge sets bond for Giuliani at $150,000
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has set bond for former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani at $150,000.
As with all defendants in the case, Giuliani's bail conditions include not communicating with witnesses and co-defendants, reporting to pre-trial services by phone every month, and not obstructing justice by intimidating witnesses.
Giuliani's bond agreement also includes a line to ensure he surrenders at Fulton County Jail by the Friday deadline DA Fani Willis set for all 19 defendants.
"The Defendant shall turn himself into the Fulton County Jail by 12:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Friday, August 25, 2023. If the Defendant does not turn himself into the Fulton County Jail by this date and time, this consent bond order shall be null and void," the consent order said.
Giuliani is expected to surrender at the jail later today, sources have told ABC News.
According to prosecutors, Giuliani aided Trump in perpetrating a sweeping effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, including by making false statements to state election officials.
