A person set themselves on fire on Friday outside the New York courthouse where Donald Trump's historic hush-money trial was taking place, according to CNN.
Barred from giving a formal closing argument, Donald Trump wrested an opportunity to speak in court at the conclusion of his New York civil fraud trial Thursday, unleashing a barrage of attacks in a six-minute diatribe before being cut off by the judge. “I am an innocent man,” Trump protested. “I’m being persecuted by someone running for office, and I think you have to go outside the bounds.”, World News, Times Now
Donald Trump changed his mind about testifying in his own defence in his New York fraud case on Monday, he said, announcing that he will not take the stand as expected because he has "nothing more to say."
Trump himself didn’t attend the proceedings Thursday, after choosing to be there and avail himself of the news cameras waiting outside for the three prior days.
