A 37-year-old man named Maxwell Azzarello tragically died after setting himself on fire outside the Manhattan courthouse where former President Donald Trump’s trial is taking place. Azzarello, who was identified as a self-described “investigative researcher,” posted a conspiracy-laden manifesto online before the incident occurred.
