A spokesman for the U.S. Marshals Service says former President Donald Trump will be digitally fingerprinted and have his birthdate and Social Security number taken as part of the booking process at the federal courthouse in Miami. The spokesman said the former president will forgo a mugshot tuesday because enough photos of him already exist in the system — confirming what a person familiar with negotiations around the proceedings said earlier. The spokesman said that booking could take place before Trump appears in court or afterward, depending on when he arrives. He said authorities did not plan to immediately alert the media once Trump had arrived.

They didn’t even take his passport or even take a mugshot of him. You think the average citizen would get such kid gloves treatment?

The secret service would not allow the president to flee the nation.

Maybe. How well do they verify that he is actually him? Couldn't he get a lookalike to hang out with the Secret Service guys while he skates?
