REPORT: Court employee ARRESTED after trying to approach Trump at NYC civil fraud trial..
New York State Court Employee Arrested for Disrupting Donald Trump's Trial.
In a surprising incident during former President Donald Trump's ongoing civil fraud trial in lower Manhattan, a New York state court employee was arrested.
The woman, identified as Jenny Hannigan, was charged with contempt of court for causing a disturbance in Manhattan Supreme Court.
The disruption occurred just before noon when Hannigan stood up and walked toward the front of the courtroom while addressing Mr. Trump.
Although a reporter within the courtroom did not hear Hannigan yell, she was later observed speaking loudly in the hallway after being escorted out.
Jenny Hannigan, 37, who resides in Baldwin, NY, serves as a secretary for a judge in Queens.
Attempts to reach her at the provided address went unanswered.
Hannigan, dressed in a black ensemble, was promptly intercepted by court officers before she could approach Donald Trump, who was seated with his attorneys at the defense table.

“On January 26, 2021–six days after Joe Biden was inaugurated– eight FBI and other law enforcement agents showed up at Douglass Mackey’s home and arrested him on felony charges with a ten-year maximum sentence. His crime: posting a Twitter meme, which mocked Hillary Clinton supporters he posted almost five years earlier. Mackey had run the pro-Trump twitter account @RickyVaughn99. The government claimed his satirical posts joking about “texting to vote” constituted a conspiracy on "social media to spread disinformation relevant to the impending 2016 Presidential Election." Specifically, the government was concerned that "disinformation spread by these individuals often took the form of 'memes.'"
Despite living in Florida, Mackey was prosecuted in the Eastern District of New York before two liberal judges and was convicted. He was sentenced to seven months in federal prison on October 18, and ordered to report federal prison on January 8, 2024. He will appeal the case. Reversing this conviction is essential not just to protect his own freedom, but to prevent politically motivated suppression of free speech for all Americans. Mackey was charged under 18 USC 241, known as the Ku Klux Klan Act, which was passed to stop violent deprivations of civil rights in the aftermath of the Civil War. The Biden Justice Department is now using this against other political enemies.
Most notably, Special Counsel Jack Smith has is using this statute against President Donald Trump for his “disinformation” around the 2020 election, with most legal experts citing Mackey’s case as the trial balloon. The Justice Department has also used it to prosecute pro-life activists.
Mackey is appealing this case the U.S. Court of Appeals and Supreme Court, if necessary, on First Amendment–and other–grounds. To help reverse this injustice and ensure that it cannot be used as a precedent to further suppress free speech, please contribute.”
