A T-shirt featuring a fake mugshot of Donald Trump has gone on sale – despite the former president not being photographed by police after being charged in relation to hush-money payments in 2016.
Emblazoned with the slogan “not guilty”, the T-shirt features a black and white photo of Trump superimposed on a height chart.
The chart shows his height as 6ft 5in (he is 6ft 3in, according to his last White House medical).
The garment is on sale on Trump’s campaign website for $36 (£29). The cost of the merchandise is presented as a “contribution” to Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.

Trump was fingerprinted when he arrived at a New York court but did not have his mugshot taken, according to reports.
