Trump Faces More Than 30 Counts As NYC Braces For Arrest: Reports

Former President Donald Trump likely will be arraigned Tuesday on charges related to business fraud, according to reports and his attorney. Reports have emerged that former President Donald Trump faces more than 30 counts related to business fraud in a high-profile grand jury indictment that has put New York City on edge. The indictment itself remained under seal Friday morning, so many details remained unclear. Trump's own attorney Joe Tacopina said on Fox News Thursday night that he believes the former president will face dozens of counts of business fraud. The unprecedented criminal charges stem from a grand jury convened by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and tasked with delving into a 2016 hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, who said she had sex with Trump. After news broke about the indictment Thursday, NYPD top brass instructed all officers to wear their uniforms and prepare for mobilization starting Friday morning.

NEW YORK CITY — Former Donald Trump faces more than 30 counts related to business fraud in a high-profile grand jury indictment that has put New York City on edge, according to reports.

Trump likely will be arrested and arraigned Tuesday in Manhattan, the New York Times first reported. The indictment itself remained under seal Friday morning, so many details remained unclear. But Trump's own attorney Joe Tacopina said on Fox News Thursday night that he believes the former president will face dozens of 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, according to the New York Post.

CNN also reported, citing two sources familiar with the case, that Trump faces more than 30 counts related to business fraud.

The unprecedented criminal charges against a former president stem from a grand jury convened by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and tasked with delving into a 2016 hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, who said she had sex with Trump. Trump has denied the affair with Daniels and spent the last weeks railing against Bragg, often in terms that raised fears he'd stir up violence akin to the Jan. 6 insurrection.

After news broke about the indictment Thursday, NYPD top brass instructed all officers to wear their uniforms and prepare for mobilization starting Friday morning, several outlets, including PIX11 reported.
