While television channels continued their live broadcasts in front of the court building in Manhattan, where Trump’s trial was continuing, the moments when a person set himself on fire were reflected on the screen.
POLICE INTERVENED
The police nearby immediately intervened with fire extinguishers on the person lying on the ground in flames.
No statement has been made yet regarding the health condition and identity of the person who was hospitalized.
THE CASE AGAINST TRUMP
US President Trump was indicted by a grand jury on March 18, 2023, as part of the investigation carried out by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office regarding the illegal “hush fee” payment to Stormy Daniels, an actress in adult films, during the 2016 presidential elections.
Trump appeared before a judge in New York on April 4, 2023, for “hush money” and fraud in related records.
Rejecting 34 separate accusations against him, Trump described the allegations against him as a “political witch hunt” and stated that he saw the accusations as “interference in elections”.
Trump was recorded as “the first former president in American history to appear before a judge on the charges against him.”
Experts estimate that the trial may last 6 to 8 weeks, including the presentations of the parties and the hearing of witnesses. It is stated that Trump must also be in the courtroom 4 days a week during this process.
