A person set himself on fire outside the New York courthouse where Donald Trump’s trial is underway in the case of porn star Stormy Daniels. The police intervened to put out the flames on the body, then the man was taken away in an ambulance. According to reports, his condition is critical. The police explained that he is “a conspiracy theorist”. His details are unknown for now. Dressed in jeans and a gray t-shirt, he threw flyers in the air, doused himself with a flammable liquid and set himself on fire outside the court, in the area of a park cordoned off for the tycoon’s fans, despite the large police forces present. Some of the fliers were about former President George W. Bush, former Vice President Al Gore and attorney David Boies, who represented Gore in the 2000 election recount. “There are currently no threats to public safety, but there are an increase in traffic in the area is to be expected,” said Deputy Police Commissioner Kaz Daughtry.
The jury for the trial has been completed and will begin on Monday
The news came as the selection of the 12 jurors, and the 6 alternates, who will judge Trump was being finalized. The choice was completed after a long and troubled selection. Of the 12 jurors, seven are men and five are women, almost all of them employees, including two corporate lawyers, a software engineer, an English teacher, a speech therapist. Six replacements have also been named. From Monday the trial will come to life with the preliminary statements of the parties. A historic event, because Donald Trump is the first former president of the United States to appear in a criminal court. The tycoon is being prosecuted for secret payments to buy the silence of a former porn star, Stormy Daniels, a few days before the 2016 elections, won with a landslide victory over Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
