Fox News anchors gasped on live TV as news broke of former US President Donald Trump's indictment on Thursday.

Video shared online shows the moment when the indictment was revealed, shocking some members of Fox News' studio. "What?" one person whispers.

The indictment, which is still sealed, follows District Attorney Alvin Bragg's two-month, secret grand jury presentation to a Manhattan grand jury.

Trump is now the first former US president to be charged with a crime, although it's currently unclear what Trump has been charged with.

Trump's attorney, Joe Tacopina, told Insider: "As with any other case, we are going to fight this right from the start. We will fight this miscarriage of justice immediately and aggressively."
