Man Sets Himself on Fire Outside Trump Hush Money Trial at New York Courthouse

A man identified as Maxwell Azzarello from St. Augustine, Florida, set himself on fire outside a courthouse in New York where Donald Trump's criminal trial is ongoing. The incident occurred just minutes after the jury selection process had concluded for Trump's hush money case. Witnesses reported seeing the man kneeling and throwing leaflets in the air before setting himself on fire. He was quickly attended to by bystanders who used fire extinguishers to put out the flames, but his condition is critical, and he is currently in a local hospital. The content of the leaflets is unclear, with some reports suggesting they mentioned "evil billionaires," although it's not clear if Trump was specifically named.

A protester set himself on fire outside the ongoing impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump. The incident occurred at the courthouse where the trial is being held, and the man was reportedly in critical condition after surviving the incident. Witnesses described chaos as people tried to separate the public from the area where the man was on fire. It's unclear what motivated the man to set himself ablaze, but a video shows him still in flames and twitching on the concrete. The man, identified as a Florida resident in his late 30s, did not appear to be targeting Trump or others involved in the trial according to the New York Police Department. A CNN correspondent reported that the man was throwing pamphlets into the air before setting himself on fire. The motive behind the self-immolation remains unclear.
