Max Azzarello sets themself on fire outside Trump trial courthouse

Max Azzarello, the man who lit himself on fire outside the Trump trial, wrote this unhinged rant against Donald Trump.

He could be seen lying on the ground outside at a park across the street from the Manhattan courthouse. People rushed over to douse the person with a fire extinguisher and try to bat the flames away. NewsNation crews at the courthouse witnessed court officers and New York police officers rushing toward the flames in a chaotic scene.

Witnesses on the scene said the man had been ther all week, carring a sign saying Trump and Bide were working together wwas about to do a Coup d'état.

Emergency responders then rushed the person away on a stretcher. No other details were immediately available from police.

Protestors and counter-protestors have been gathered at the park outside the courthouse all week as the first stages of the trial got underway.

A full jury of 12 people and six alternates had been seated in Trump’s hush money case just minutes before the fire, drawing the first criminal trial of a former U.S. president a step closer to opening statements.
