Man Self-Immolates Outside Manhattan Courthouse During Trump Trial
TL;DR
A young man set himself on fire outside the Manhattan courthouse where former President Donald Trump's hush money trial is taking place, with unclear motives and condition. The victim, Max Azzarello, left a manifesto on a Substack newsletter, criticizing U.S. political and economic systems. The trial has a full panel of jurors and alternates, with defense lawyers expected to plead to keep evidence of Trump's prior bad acts away from the jury. Trump's defense team is using social media to weed out biased jurors, and the trial will not be televised or live streamed.
