A man set himself on fire outside the New York courthouse where Donald Trump ’s historic hush-money trial was taking place, but he did not appear to have been targeting Trump, officials said. The man burned for several minutes in full view of television cameras that were set up outside the courthouse, where the first-ever criminal trial of a former US president is being held. “I see a totally charred human being,” a CNN reporter said on the air. Officials said the man survived.
The downtown Manhattan courthouse, heavily guarded by police, drew a throng of protesters and onlookers on Monday, the trial’s first day, though crowds have dwindled since then. The shocking development came shortly after jury selection for the trial was completed, clearing the way for prosecutors and defence attorneys to make opening statements next week in a case stemming from hush money paid to a porn star.
