Donald Trump held in contempt in New York attorney general’s investigation

New York judge holds former president in contempt of court for failing to comply with a subpoena for documents

A New York judge has held Donald Trump in contempt and fined him $10,000 a day, following the former president's failure to hand over documents to prosecutors investigating his business practices.

Letitia James, the New York state attorney general, had asked for the contempt finding this month stating that Trump had not complied with a subpoena requiring him to produce documents and information.
