abc.net.au/news/judge-upholds-donald-trump-contempt-order-and-fine/101976302A New York state appeals court has upheld an order finding Donald Trump in civil contempt for having failed to comply with a subpoena from New York Attorney-General Letitia James in her probe of his business practices.
The court said Mr Trump's claim that a diligent search had failed to uncover relevant documents in his possession, without explaining what steps were taken to ensure nothing would be lost or discarded, "prejudicially violated the lawful, clear mandate of the court, of which he had knowledge". It also said Justice Arthur Engoron, who oversees the case in a state court in Manhattan, had the discretion to impose a $US10,000 daily fine until Mr Trump complied with the subpoena.Lawyers for the former US president did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.
Ms James said the decision "sends a clear message that there are consequences for abusing the legal system".
Never before has so much in the way of resources been applied against a single political opponent the way the Democrat Party has gone after Trump. Democrat D.A.s will release criminals on zero bail, yet they will trump-up anti-Trump charges like no tomorrow.

Nothing political about the courts in the US. Nothing at all.
Instead of incurring these fines he should spend the money on a decent hairdresser/clinician
It's time to get Sour Sarah to do another blockbuster three-part investigative report on Trump while he's still reeling from the unexpected blow.
So the best they’ve done after nearly 8 years is fine him for not showing up to court? I don’t know what is more embarrassing for them. Trump still not being a criminal, or, Trump being a criminal but is so much smarter than them they can’t find the evidence he’s hidden.
Ha ha. Nothing like an impartial witch hunt.
Anything on Twitter files from ABC and FBI's meddling in the US elections?
