A New York state court employee who was arrested after trying to approach former President Donald Trump and offering to help him during his civil fraud trial has been identified as a secretary for a judge in Queens.
The woman, who New York City police identified as Jenny Hannigan, has been charged with contempt of court after she disrupted proceedings Wednesday in the Manhattan Supreme Court "by standing and walking towards the front of the courtroom yelling out to Mr. Trump," Office of Court Administration spokesman Lucian Chalfen said, reported the New York Post.
She was charged with one count of second-degree contempt of court for disrupting the proceeding and was given a desk appearance ticket. Hannigan at first was asked to take a seat in the courtroom gallery, with an officer asking her to step outside the room.
