Trump, who was suspended by the social media platform in January 2021, was reinstated by new owner Elon Musk in November 2022. Since then, it has long been speculated how Trump would make his return to the website, which became so associated with his brand and style of politics.

Trump turned himself in to be arrested in Fulton County, Georgia, Thursday evening on multiple felony charges stemming from his alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Trump agreed earlier this week to a $200,000 bond and other release conditions with the Fulton County District Attorney’s office. His mugshot was released by the Trump team hours later.

DonaldJTrump.com goes directly to a fundraising page for the former president — but it’s unclear where that money will wind up.
