    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    NEW YORK – A person has self-immolated outside the Manhattan courthouse where former President Trump’s first criminal trial is ongoing, police confirmed to The Hill.

    The incident, which occurred in a park outside the courthouse where protests of Trump’s trial have taken place this week, drew a heavy emergency response.

    With 12 primary jurors and six alternates seated, the trial can move into opening remarks on Monday.

    Several prospective jurors, who were ultimately excused, expressed anxiety about serving on the high-profile panel given the media attention it is expected to receive.

    Before moving on, Trump’s lawyers will discuss his possible trial testimony at a hearing this afternoon, where the judge will decide which topics prosecutors can cross-examine the former president about if he takes the stand.

    The topics span thirteen different court determinations involving Trump in other cases.Trump is accused of falsifying business records in connection with a hush money deal with an adult film actress made ahead of the 2016 election.
