Here’s The Mugshot Of Rep. Greg Gianforte That He Really, Really Didn’t Want You To See
The congressman was convicted in June of assaulting a reporter.
By Chris D’Angelo
A Montana judge on Wednesday released the mugshot of Rep. Greg Gianforte (Mont.), the millionaire Republican who was convicted in June of assaulting a reporter and fought the court to avoid being fingerprinted and photographed.
Bozeman Chronicle reporter Whitney Bermes posted the news and the photo to Twitter:
Gianforte, 56, was charged May 24 — the day before Montana voters elected him to the U.S. House — with misdemeanor assault for body-slamming The Guardian’s Ben Jacobs. Gianforte pleaded guilty to the charge June 12, and a judge gave him a six-month deferred sentence and ordered him to perform community service and attend anger management counseling.
Later that same month, Gianforte and his legal team filed a motion arguing the court did not have the authority to require him to appear for fingerprints and a mugshot because he was not arrested or charged with a felony. The court ultimately denied the request, and he was booked into the Gallatin County Detention Center in Bozeman, Montana, in late August.
