A WOMAN has been arrested after approaching the bench attempting to speak to Donald Trump during his civil fraud trial.

Pictures from outside the New York Supreme Courthouse in Manhattan on Wednesday showed the unidentified woman being escorted out by New York State Court officers.

The woman approached the bench asking to speak with the former president, according to Law360.

Footage obtained by the outlet showed New York State Court officers placing the woman, wearing a black dress and blazer, into a squad car.

It’s not immediately known if the woman will face charges.

Trump is on trial after New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a $250 million lawsuit in September 2022 against the former president accusing him of altering his personal fortune.

James has accused the former president and his sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr, of engaging in a decades-long scheme where they committed numerous acts of fraud to inflate his net worth.

Trump has pleaded not guilty and has denied any wrongdoings.

The civil trial began on October 2 after a judge rejected the former president’s attempt to delay it.

James has claimed Trump built his fortune on lies.

“He can call me names, he can engage in distractions, but at the end of the day, his entire empire was built on nothing but lies and on sinking sand,” James told reporters outside the courthouse following Tuesday’s hearing.
