Donald Trump has surrendered in Georgia on charges of plotting to overturn the state's 2020 election results in an arrest that saw the first ever mugshot of a former US president.
Georgia is the fourth criminal case Mr Trump is fighting, but he denies all charges, saying they are politically motivated.
''Georgia had been a target of Donald Trump's campaign to overturn the election," says Clark D Cunningham, Professor of Law at Georgia State University.
"He really sent a lot of hostility to Georgia and had denigrated our system of justice so to be booked here is really a powerful statement about the rule of law in America.''
