| 0:18.7 | The arrest and booking of Donald Trump was a sign, a powerful sign that the rule of |
| 0:26.8 | law still holds. That accountability still is in the system and that chickens will come home to |
| 0:34.5 | roost. President Trump surrendered at the notorious Fulton County jail Thursday night. He was booked on |
| 0:40.7 | 13 felony charges for attempting to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia. Once inside the jail, |
| 0:48.0 | Trump became the first former president to ever have his mug shot taken. We'll get the latest from |
| 0:53.8 | Atlanta. Then as Trump begins fundraising off his mug shot, we'll look at a growing movement |

| 2:05.0 | where he was arrested and booked on 13 felony charges over his attempts to overturn the 2020 |
| 2:10.8 | elections in Georgia, which he lost. Once inside the jail, Trump was fingerprinted, had his mug shot |
| 2:17.3 | taken. He was released after about 20 minutes later on a $200,000 bond. Trump briefly spoke to |
| 2:24.8 | reporters at the airport after his release Thursday evening. I really believe this is a very sad day |
