In April Trump told court officials in Manhattan he was 6' 2" and weighed 240.
Former President Donald Trump told police he weighs 240 pounds and stands at 6 feet, 2 inches when he was arraigned at a lower Manhattan courthouse this week, Mediaite has learned.
Perps are required to provide certain personal information to police during arraignments, including their height, weight, and occupation. That information is recorded alongside the names of their arresting officers, typically on an online booking sheet system.
A source familiar with Trump’s arrest said the former president told officers he has a weight of 240 pounds and a height of 6’2?, the latter metric coming in at one inch shorter than what he usually claims.

JACKSON, Miss. - Mississippi Capital City Pride has withdrawn volunteer support for the Mississippi Book Festival.
They made the decision after learning former Vice President Mike Pence would attend the event in Jackson to promote his book, “So Help Me God.”
“We felt like, as an organization, we couldn’t volunteer this year because he’s everything that we are against,” said Jason McCarty, with Capital City Pride.
The organization has, in past years, hosted a breakfast for the writers. But because Pence, a presidential candidate, has been outspoken about his opposition to same-sex marriage and supports a nationwide ban on gender-affirming care for trans minors, they pulled out of this year’s event.
