'Handsome guy': US president Biden says of predecessor Donald Trump's mug shot

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE: US president Joe Biden on Friday said that his predecessor Donald Trump appeared as a "handsome guy" in the mug shot taken after Trump's booking on election charges in Georgia. President Biden made the remark while addressing the media on Friday.

Biden offered a somewhat unconventional observation regarding the former president of the US with his comment, which came as a surprise.

Trump found himself in the spotlight once again as he was arrested at a Georgia detention facility on Thursday. The charges leveled against him were centered on racketeering and conspiracy, stemming from allegations of his involvement in attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in the southern state.

Following the arrest, Trump was granted release after posting a $200,000 bond. Making his way back to his residence in New Jersey, the ex-president's legal journey continues to capture the attention of the nation.

The mug shot, unveiled on Thursday, depicted a stern-faced Trump who was captured glaring at the camera. Choosing to withhold any signs of a smile.
