Trump appeals against judge’s contempt order and $10,000-a-day fine

Ex-president found to be in contempt after failure to comply with subpoena in New York state attorney general's fraud investigation

Donald Trump is appealing the contempt of court order he received from a Manhattan judge that fines him $10,000 a day for failing to comply with a subpoena, according to documents filed Wednesday.

The contempt order was issued in the civil investigation by New York state attorney Letitia James into the former president's business practices. On 7 April, James asked Judge Arthur Engoron to hold Trump in contempt of court for not turning over documents and information she had subpoenaed as part of the investigation.
