At his arraignment at a Manhattan courtroom earlier this week, former president Donald Trump allegedly disclosed details on his height and weight while declaring his occupation as a “business person.”
It is standard procedure for persons who are being held on criminal accusations to provide personal information, such as height, weight, and profession, to the police. This information is subsequently entered into an online booking system.

The 2016 presidential campaign‘s use of hush money led to the 45th president being officially charged with 34 crimes for falsifying corporate documents.
Moreover, it has been claimed that former national security officials told prosecutors and a grand jury that they repeatedly advised former president that he was not permitted to take voting equipment after the 2020 election.
Trump ‘Admits’ He’s An Inch Shorter During Arraignment Paperworks
Sources speaking to Mediaite (via The Independent) said the 76-year-old Trump claimed to be 6 feet and 2 inches tall and 240 pounds while speaking with police.
According to reports, the former president said he was an inch lower in height than his physicians had previously noted in 2020, when he was still serving as president.
The ex-president’s doctor, Sean P. Conley, gave Trump’s height and weight as 6 feet and 3 inches and 244 pounds, respectively.
Dr. Conley stated that Trump is still in good health based on his medical history, examination, and consultations.
Body mass index (BMI) measurements provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show Mr. Trump has a clinically obese BMI of 30.8.
In addition, the ex-president said that his occupation is “business person,” not “political,” “the 45th president,” or “a contender for the next election.”

When Ken Cuccinelli testified before the grand jury earlier this year, questions concerning conversations about the agency assuming control of voting equipment inside the Trump administration were put to him, according to CNN on Thursday.
One source told the outlet that Cuccinelli told the jury he “made plain at all times” that DHS couldn’t implement such measures.
According to Chad Wolf’s lawyer John Coale, who talked with CNN, the former acting DHS secretary met with prosecutors from the Department of Justice after being summoned by Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office.
Wolf testified to the prosecution that the Trump White House repeatedly asked him if DHS had the legal authority to take voting equipment after the 2020 election, and he always said no.
One of the former president’s national security advisers, Robert O’Brien, reportedly disclosed to prosecutors that he too had heated talks about snatching voting equipment with Mr. Trump in the White Office, according to a person who spoke to the network.
After a series of court decisions rejecting the ex-president’s claims of executive privilege, some of the officials who have testified so far—as well as others who have declined to—may be obliged to go back to Washington, DC, to give more testimony.
