Jenny Hannigan, an employee of the state court system in the state of New York, was detained on Wednesday for attempting to approach former President Donald Trump during the civil fraud trial that is now taking place in lower Manhattan. The trial is being held at the federal courthouse in Manhattan. Hannigan made the accusation that she meant to help Trump, and as a result, she was charged with contempt of court for disrupting the proceedings that were taking place in Manhattan Supreme Court. She was also found guilty of disturbing the proceedings. After being taken out of the courthouse, Hannigan could be heard yelling very loudly in the hallway outside the chamber as she was being escorted away. However, a reporter who was present in the courtroom did not hear any yelling emanating from within the chamber.
Hannigan, who is 37 years old and is originally from Baldwin, New York, is reportedly working as a secretary for a judge in the borough of Queens. This information was obtained from a source within the courts. She was prevented from reaching Trump and his attorneys, who were sat at the defense table, by court guards who were holding her. Trump and his attorneys were placed in the defense table.
It is of the utmost importance to stress that none of the participants who participated in the event were ever in danger at any point during the activity. When Trump left the courthouse for the day, he claimed that he was unaware of the woman’s arrest and the commotion she had caused. He also claimed that he was unaware of the commotion she had caused. Additionally, he said that he was unaware of the uproar that she had caused across the neighborhood.
It was first suggested that Hannigan take a seat in the gallery of the courtroom; however, she was subsequently visited by an officer who requested that she speak outside of the chamber instead of within the chamber itself. In the hallway, as many law enforcement personnel surrounded her, she screamed at the top of her lungs and exhibited fear while they begged her to lower the level of her voice. Hannigan was placed in handcuffs as she screamed for aid as she was being brought up to the first level from the ground floor after having been taken downstairs.
Doug Larson, a real estate appraiser, was testifying at the same time inside the courtroom, and his testimony lasted throughout the show with relatively little interruptions. Because Hannigan was so disruptive during the whole hearing, the judge decided to issue her a desk attendance ticket and charge her with one count of contempt of court in the second degree.
She has been placed on administrative leave as a result of the investigation into the occurrence, and for the time that the investigation is continuing, she is not allowed to enter any facilities associated with the state court.
When Larson was testifying over the course of the trial, President Trump gave the appearance that he was becoming increasingly agitated. As a direct consequence of this, there were demonstrations, and as a consequence of those demonstrations, Justice Arthur Engoron issued a caution to maintain decorum in the courtroom.
Trump’s legal team has accused Larson of lying under oath, which is the same as committing the crime of perjury, in reference to Larson’s prior assertions on his collaboration with another defendant engaged in the case, Jeff McConney. This allegation is in response to Larson’s allegations that he worked with McConney. As the proceedings went on, emotions increased, and accusations of witness intimidation and dishonesty were levied against both sides.
After the testimony of Larson was over, the office of the Attorney General summoned Jack Weisselberg, the son of a former CFO of the Trump Organization named Allen Weisselberg, to take the stand as a witness in order to investigate loans associated with Trump University and the valuation of Trump’s properties.
Trump has made it clear that he does not believe the claims of fraud and has described the investigation investigating him as an example of political persecution. He suggested that he might not be able to attend the trial the following day since there was a golf tournament arranged at the golf club he plays at in Miami, Florida. The golf event was set for the following day.
