I actually thought you were kidding
The idea that Trump wasn't told what the crime was is a talking point going around, but it's not true.
Trump is being charged with 34 counts of filing false business records.
Trump's lawyers have known this since APRIL 4, 2023 when the indictment was filed.

The talking point is this crime is misdemeanor unless it is used to cover up another crime
These were mentioned in another court filing, not in the indictment.
The Daa asked for 4 of them. The judge tossed out one of them. One of them is FECA , the Federal Election Campaign Act.
One is a NY state election law
I forget the other right now, I think it's tax law, but Trump's lawyer was addressing these today in court.
Here's an example
