A New York Judge on Monday has found former US President Donald Trump in contempt of court and fined him $10, 000 a day.
As reported, Trump failed to comply with a subpoena to turn over documents to Attorney General Letitia Jame as part of her investigation into the business dealings of the Trump Organisation.
As the investigation is civil proceeding, Trump was fined with $10, 000 per day for every day he doesn't comply.
Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that the former President had failed to abide by his order to comply with James’ subpoena. The investigation focuses on whether the Trump Organization provided misleading statements about its finances, including the valuation of assets.
Trump has called his investigation politically motivated.
