Reporting from journalist Marta Dhanis revealed that a pro-Trump woman was arrested outside of the Manhattan courthouse after she got involved in a confrontation with a passerby and ultimately pulled out a weapon.
Dhanis wrote in a tweet, captioning footage of the woman’s arrest, “On the sidelines: a Trump supporter was just arrested across the street from the courthouse.
