The man who set himself on fire outside the court where Donald Trump is standing trial is in "critical condition" at a burn center in New York, authorities tell reporters.

Eventually, FPNY (New York Fire Patrol) respond, (they) were able to extinguish the fire," Chief Maddrey tells a press conference on the scene, outside the court where Donald Trump is standing trial.
