The Facts

  • Just after all jurors had been selected in former Pres. Donald Trump’s hush money trial in Manhattan, a man lit himself on fire outside the courthouse located on 100 Centre Street, as police rushed to the scene.

  • The graphic self-immolation was captured on video and shared on social media. Witnesses say the man threw pamphlets into the air before lighting the fire at Collect Pond Park., and a witness named Julie Berman said that she had seen the man protesting the trial all week.
