Joe Tacopina, Trump's lawyer, said 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.”“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.
The specific charges were not made public, but sources said Trump is facing over two dozen counts related to business fraud.LawyerA spokesperson for Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg confirmed the indictment and said the office had contacted Trump’s team to arrange his surrender.Joe Tacopina“I’m sure they’ll try to get every ounce of publicity he can from this thing. As far as mugshots, perp-walk — I’m sure they’ll try to make sure they get some joy out of this by parading him.
