NEW YORK (AP) — A New York judge found former President Donald Trump in contempt of court Monday for failing to adequately respond to a subpoena issued by the state’s attorney general as part of a civil investigation into his business dealings.

Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump to pay a fine of $10,000 per day.
“Mr. Trump, I know you take your business seriously, and I take mine seriously,” Engoron said before issuing the ruling from the bench in a Manhattan courtroom, following a hearing.
New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat, had asked the court to hold Trump in contempt after he missed a March 31 court-imposed deadline to turn over documents.
Trump, a Republican, has been fighting James in court over her investigation, which he has called a politically motivated “witch hunt.”
Trump spokespeople did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
This is what they go after ? While crime is rising and cities are being destroyed.
Remember when AG James called Trump an illegitimate president while he was in office. This is a devilish , evil piece of stinking garbage.
what about Hunter & Joe Biden’s ILEGAL business with Ukraine & Russia where they got paid MILLIONS OF DOLLARS and met in the WHITE HOUSE during the NoBama years with these Gangsters.
I read on another website that Trump’s lawyer told the judge they have no more documents to hand over.
We need to register to vote and vote down the line Republican. For our safety and our children’s future. As inflation increases so will robberies. No community will be safe.
As per Ilya Meritz of NPR, there is a loophole whereby if trump’s lawyer testifies that he/she is doing their due diligence to find relevant doucments they can avoid the fine. There is always a way out! Beauty.
