The balloons that flew over the courthouse had faces of people like the judge presiding over Trump’s trial or the Manhattan prosecutor who brought the charge.
Dozens of penis-shaped balloons flew over the courthouse where former President Donald Trump is being tried in New York this Thursday, mobilizing the police guarding the outside of the building.
A Trump supporter who regularly attends the court opened the door of a van on Thursday afternoon, from which pink balloons approximately one meter long emerged and spread around the area, also drawing the attention of journalists waiting outside. of the court.
The images quickly reached social networks, the Efe agency reported.
The balloons had faces of people like Judge Juan Marchand, who presided over Trump’s trial, or Manhattan prosecutor Alvin Bragg, who presented the accusation that brought the former president to trial.
Another face present in the balloons was that of Jack Smith, the special prosecutor who prosecuted Trump in Washington for the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Initially, a group of Trump supporters who were also nearby misinterpreted this as an attack on their leader and began chanting “shame on you, shame on you.”
But then he fell silent when he saw the faces in the balloons, according to a journalist who witnessed the incident.
Trump is on trial for 34 falsifications of accounting documents allegedly used to hide a payment for a sex scandal that occurred before the 2016 presidential campaign.
Former porn star Stormy Daniels received a sum of $130,000 (€121,000) to silence her about a sexual relationship that took place in 2006, when Trump was already married to his wife Melania. The former American head of state denies the relationship.
