A person has burned himself to death in front of the Court where Donald Trump will be tried for falsifying financial documents in payments to hide a relationship with porn actress Stormy Daniels. According to the American media, an individual has set himself on fire outside the building. The incident occurs when the selection of the jury that is going to try the former US president has concluded.
Witnesses reported seeing a man engulfed in flames for more than three minutes. “He was totally charred.” The shocking development came shortly after jury selection for the trial concluded, clearing the way for prosecutors and defense attorneys to make opening statements next week in a case stemming from the payment of undercover money. to a porn movie star.
The twelve jurors, along with six alternates, will examine the evidence in a trial that for the first time will determine whether a former US president is guilty of breaking the law.
The jury is made up of seven men and five women, mostly employed in liberal professions: two corporate lawyers, a computer engineer, a speech therapist and an English teacher. Most are not natives of New York, but come from all over the United States and countries such as Ireland and Lebanon.
$130,000
Trump is accused of covering up the $130,000 payment his former lawyer Michael Cohen made to porn actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election to keep her quiet about a sexual encounter she claims they had a decade earlier.
Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and denies any such encounter with Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford.
