HeadlineApr 26, 2022

A New York judge has found Donald Trump in civil contempt of court for failing to fully comply with a subpoena from Attorney General Letitia James asking for records on the Trump Organization’s business dealings. The court ordered Trump to pay $10,000 each day he fails to turn over the records. Trump’s lawyers have promised to appeal the order. Attorney General James has been investigating whether the Trump Organization inflated the values of its properties to obtain loans and then reduced them to evade taxes.
