The woman, who has not been named, has been suspended from her job as well as being charged with contempt of court and disrupting a court proceeding, CNN reports.

She reportedly walked to the front of the courtroom and tried to get Mr Trump’s attention – but he did not appear to notice her or that anything was happening.

The Office of Court Administration said she was “yelling out to Mr Trump, indicating she wanted to assist him” before she was escorted out of the courtroom.

Mr Trump appeared in court for three days of the $250 million fraud trial in which he and his company are accused of deliberately overstating the value of properties.
