trial

A man set himself on fire on Friday afternoon near the Lower Manhattan #courthouse where #JurySelection continued in the #criminal #trial of #Trump.

The man doused himself w/a liquid around 1:35PM ET in Collect Pond Park, across the street from the courthouse. Onlookers screamed as bright orange flames engulfed the man. It was unclear what motivated his action.

"The New York Times reported there are at least nine court officers and additional Secret Service agents in the courtroom today, a much larger security presence than normal.

Outside the court, a local park has been turned into a stage by Trump supporters."
