(New York Post) Donald Trump was “shocked” when he learned Thursday that a Manhattan grand jury voted to indict him, according to his attorney, who revealed the former president will face 34 counts when he’s arraigned next week.
Joe Tacopina told Fox News host Sean Hannity that he talked to Trump, 76, after the indictment came down, saying they both learned about it through media reports and not from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office.
“He’s ready to fight. You know, he’s the toughest guy I know. He was shocked, you know, because we really weren’t – I was shocked,” Tacopina said of Trump’s reaction to the indictment.
“I’ve never been more angry about a charge because today, Tacopina said.
Tacopina added that he believes the reports that Trump will be charged with over 30 counts of business fraud.
“We now heard 34 counts, and I guarantee you it’s going to be 34 counts when we find out next week,” he said.

Joe Tacopina told Fox News host Sean Hannity that he and Trump learned of the news through the media.
“They’ll take each check and make that a count, perhaps, and that’s how they’ll do it because the checks are paid to Cohen,” he explained.
