New York AG Asks Judge to Fine Donald Trump $10,000 a Day for Contempt of Court

HeadlineApr 08, 2022

New York’s attorney general has asked a judge to hold Donald Trump in contempt of court, after he refused to turn over documents to her civil probe into the Trump Organization’s business practices. Letitia James said Trump should be fined $10,000 a day until he turns over documents her office has requested on eight separate occasions. Meanwhile, The Washington Post reports the U.S. Department of Justice has begun taking steps to investigate Trump’s removal of presidential records to his Mar-a-Lago resort — some of which were labeled “top secret.”
