CORRECTION: A May fundraising email by former President Trump's campaign mentioned him being "tortured" in the Fulton County jail. Due to an editing error, a previous version of this story included incorrect information.

Former President Trump's campaign in a Monday fundraising email criticized his treatment at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia, saying he was "tortured" while getting his historic mug shot at the jail.

Trump has frequently sought to raise funds from the mug shot, and the email that mentioned the torture was sent out to promote coffee mugs featuring Trump's mug shot.

" I want you to remember what they did to me. They tortured me in the Fulton County Jail, and TOOK MY MUGSHOT. So guess what? I put it on a mug for the WHOLE WORLD TO SEE!" the fundraising email said.
