Former President Donald Trump appeared angry and giving a death stare in his first-ever mugshot.

Trump's perhaps most famous picture yet was taken on Thursday night while he was arrested and booked into Fulton County Jail for charges in the Georgia election interference case.

The ex-US president furrowed his eyebrows and frowned in the mugshot released by the Fulton County Sheriff's Office just before 9pm. He wore a red tie, white shirt and dark blue suit.

Trump's intense expression was markedly different from what many of his 18 co-defendants displayed in their mugshots earlier this week. Some of them smiled.
