Trump Civil Trial Evacuates New York Courthouse After Man Sets Papers on Fire, Injuring 17

A small fire was started by an unidentified man burning court papers inside the New York courthouse where former President Donald Trump's civil fraud trial is being heard, resulting in nearly a half-dozen people suffering minor injuries. Firefighters evacuated three floors of the courthouse, and 17 people were injured, with two taken to the hospital. The man responsible for setting fire to the documents was arrested. The incident occurred after the conclusion of testimony in Trump's civil fraud trial case, and lawyers are scheduled to make their closing arguments next month.
