BREAKING: Former President Donald Trump has been held in civil contempt of court and ordered to pay a fine of $10,000 a day until he complies with the court's orders to turn over key documents.
Trump had been ordered to turn over documents to New York Attorney General Letitia James for her investigation into his business practices, but he has failed to comply. Nearly three weeks ago, James filed a motion requesting that the court hold him in contempt.
"Mr. Trump, I know you take your business seriously, and I take mine seriously. I hereby hold you in civil contempt and fine you $10,000 a day," New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron said, per CBS News. A prior court ruling had mandated that Trump turn over documents by March 31. James noted that Trump"agreed to this timeline and never sought to challenge this aspect of the order on appeal." But on the day of the deadline, Trump's lawyers brought forth fresh objections and did not turn over the documents, she said.Her office is conducting a civil inquiry into whether the Trump Organization improperly manipulated its asset valuations for tax and business benefit.
"In a major victory, a court has ruled in our favor to hold Donald Trump in contempt of court. Donald Trump must pay $10,000 per day for every day that he continues to defy the court's order to turn over documents to my office," James tweeted.
