New York’s attorney general has asked a court to hold former President Donald Trump in contempt and fine him $10,000 per day for failing to comply with a subpoena for documents in her ongoing civil investigation into his business practices.

Attorney General Letitia James argued in court papers that Trump should be fined “a sum sufficient to coerce his compliance” after he missed a March 31 court-imposed deadline to turn over the documents.

Trump is in the process of appealing a February court ruling forcing him to answer questions under oath in the civil investigation but has not appealed a ruling establishing the deadline for him to provide documents, James said.James, a Democrat, has said that her investigation into the Republican former president’s business practices uncovered evidence that he may have misstated the value of assets like golf courses and skyscrapers on financial statements for more than a decade.

I'm not understanding why he is not in a orange jumpsuit by now to match his skin tone...

BS. The elite prosecutors have already walked &expressed their dismay, which the DA initially covered up. Bragg has been bought by Trump’s lackeys, it’s obvious.

Thank You NewYorkStateAG . I appreciate You efforts to bring D. J. Trump to justice.

At $10,000 a day, he can file for bankruptcy in a year.

Sounds like a great deal to me!!! Trump can delay this proceeding for 1 year for $365K. He can avoid prosecution for 3 full years for just over a million. Seems reasonable. He'll just pay it with donor money. Who cares. Not Trump. This is not the stick you'd think it is.

Do it!!!!!!

Nothing will happen

👏👏👏

JonLemire Why only $10,000 per day? Alex Jones was facing a fine of $50,000 per day for contempt.

double the fines each day

Ya, sure...he will pay. Ugh.

End all imports of China, Iran, Russia to America! Close all ports, harbors, airfields to everything from these countries! Seize all businesses, financial institutes dealing with these countries NOW!

That would be like fining an ordinary citizen $1 a day
