A 37-year-old man, Maxwell Azzarello, died after setting himself ablaze outside the Manhattan court where Donald Trump's hush-money trial is underway. Azzarello doused himself in a flammable liquid and threw conspiracy-theory pamphlets before igniting. Despite a prompt response from officers, he sustained critical burns and succumbed to his injuries in hospital. Witnesses described the incident as sudden and bewildering, with authorities collecting scattered pamphlets related to a conspiracy theory. The trial's security protocol faces reassessment following the tragic event, which left three officers with minor injuries. Opening statements for the trial are slated to commence on Monday.
