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 and that 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, the rule of law in the United States of America died. It’s dead. It’s dead,” Tacopina said.

The lawyer added that Trump’s expected Tuesday arraignment is “not finalized.”

I mean, this is going to be something we’ve never seen the likes of,” Tacopina said.

Tacopina added that he believes the reports that Trump will be charged with over 30 counts of business fraud.
