Maxwell Azzarello self-immolates at court where Trump faces trial for bribery

37-year-old Maxwell Azzarello, an alleged anti-government conspiracy theorist who spread anti-government pamphlets self-immolated and died. Joseph Kenny, NYPD’s chief of detectives, said Azzarello's manifesto pamphlets, titled "The True History of the World" included anti-establishment propaganda, citing governmental Ponzi schemes with the aid of educational facilities, such as New York University, as well as "discoveries" of a "world fascist coup". Tarik Sheppard, the deputy commissioner of the NYPD, added that Azzarello's action was unrelated to Trump or his trial.
