On April 4, 2023, pro- and anti-Trump protesters rallied in Collect Pond Park, near the Manhattan courthouse where former President Donald Trump was arraigned and pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The park was divided into two sections by police barricades to separate Trump supporters and anti-Trump protesters. A third area on the street near the park was reserved for media. There were so many members of the press in the area that they may have outnumbered the protesters. This video was originally part of a livestream that was not able to transmit, probably due to the large media presence. SUPPORT NYC for YOURSELF by subscribing, liking and sharing!
