A female court employee was arrested on a contempt of court charge on Wednesday after approaching Donald Trump from the audience of his civil fraud trial in New York and trying to speak to him during testimony.
The woman, whose court credentials were visible, stood about 20 feet from Trump's seat at the defense table, and could be heard asking a court officer if she could "help" the former president.
