The evacuation came hours after the conclusion of testimony in Trump’s civil fraud trial case, which has played out on the building’s third floor for nearly three months. Among those evacuated was Judge Arthur Engoron, who has presided over the trial.
What an idiot. I can’t think of any reason he’d do this other than wanting to go to jail.
He’s sticking it to the libs for his dear leader
Delay delay delay. It’s a tactic.
It’s not clear what brought the man to the courthouse, familiar to many TV viewers as a backdrop for “Law & Order,” “Night Court” and other shows.
Huh? Paid by the character?
The courthouse itself is recognizable from those shows. Weird thing to add to the article. Maybe the AI comment is correct.
Written by AI.
Oh shit, that’s where they filmed Night Court? That’s actually pretty cool.
It is a famous courthouse, which dramatically increases its likelihood of being targeted by terrorists and nut cases. So, it is possible that the incident had nothing to do with Trump.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
NEW YORK (AP) — The courthouse in New York City where former President Donald Trump’s civil business fraud trial has been taking place was briefly evacuated Wednesday, hours after testimony concluded, when a man set papers on fire and then doused them with a fire extinguisher, officials said.
Firefighters arrived at the New York State Supreme Court Building in lower Manhattan shortly after 4 p.m. Wednesday to respond to an alarm on the fourth floor.
There was a visible haze in the stairwell between the third and fourth floor, according to an Associated Press reporter who was asked to leave the building.
A man was arrested after setting fire to some documents, said court spokesperson Al Baker.
The evacuation came hours after the conclusion of testimony in Trump’s civil fraud trial case, which has played out on the building’s third floor for nearly three months.
The courthouse, with its Corinthian columns and wide front steps, is recognizable to many for its frequent appearances in movies and television shows, including “Law & Order” and “Night Court.”
