A New York Judge Holds Trump in Contempt For Failing to Comply With a Subpoena
A New York judge held former President Donald Trump in contempt of court Monday for failing to comply with a subpoena for business documents related to a civil investigation by the state attorney general’s office of his company.
Trump will have to pay $10,000 per day for as long as he fails to comply with the subpoena.
The contempt finding by Judge Arthur Engoron in Manhattan Supreme Court came after a more than two-hour hearing in which lawyers for New York Attorney General Letitia James blasted Trump for dragging his feet in turning over the demanded documents.
