Trump Held in Contempt for Not Complying with Subpoena for Business Documents

A New York judge held former President Donald Trump in contempt in a Monday ruling for failing to comply with a subpoena for business documents.
Judge Arthur Engoron made the ruling in a Manhattan Supreme Court courtroom after New York Attorney General Letitia James condemned the former president for not handing over business documents related to a civil investigation into the Trump Organization’s financial dealings, CNBC reported. The former president must pay $10,000 for each day he does not turn over the documents.
“Mr. Trump … I know you take your business seriously, and I take mine seriously. I hereby hold you in civil contempt,” Engoron’s 21-page filing said, although Trump did not attend the court hearings, according to CNBC.
