New York judge said there was no evidence Trump had conducted a thorough search for the records sought by attorney general
A New York judge on Friday denied a request from Donald Trump’s lawyer to end a contempt-of-court finding against the former US president and kept in place $10,000-a-day fine over his failure to comply with a subpoena issued by the state attorney general investigating the business practices of Trump’s family company, the Trump Organization.
“I am surprised he doesn’t seem to have any documents, they’re all with the organization,” the judge said. “I will consider your request to terminate the fine,” he told Trump lawyer Alina Habba. “But if you don’t hear from me, the clock is still ticking.“ James says her investigation has turned up evidence the Trump Organization, which manages hotels, golf courses and other real estate around the world, has given banks and tax authorities misleading financing information in order to obtain financial benefits such as favorable loans and tax breaks.
Trump, a Republican, has denied wrongdoing and calls the investigation politically motivated. James is a Democrat.
