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’s campaign team sent an email to supporters asking them to buy the T-shirt, asking them: “Do you stand with President Trump, friend?”.

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

He pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts on Tuesday, becoming the first former US president to face criminal charges.

The allegations relate to him allegedly falsifying business records “in order to conceal damaging information and unlawful activity from American voters before and after the 2016 election”, according to prosecutors.

Trump is accused of orchestrating a payment of $130,000 (£104,000) to porn actress Stormy Daniels 12 days before the 2016 presidential election, which he won.

Daniels has also cashed in on merchandise related to the trial, including her “#TeamStormy” T-shirts – she said on Twitter that orders were “pouring in”.
