8. "Trump didn't even know what he was being charged with." - I don't have a transcript or direct source for this; I will continue looking. However, during an arraignment for charges filed against someone, not only does the defendant enter a plea, they are asked if they understand the charges filed against them. Trump was asked this question in court, under oath, and answered in the affirmative.
Edit: I have found the transcript and learned this is not a part of the process in New York. However, Trump's legal team was provided with the indictment and it is their role to ensure Trump understands the charges against him. (Source)
