Former President Donald Trump is challenging a ruling that held him in civil contempt of court and ordered him to pay him $10,000 each day he failed to comply with a subpoena.
His lawyer, Alina Habba, filed a notice of appeal Wednesday in the appellate division of New York's trial court, arguing that Trump adequately responded to the subpoena's demands.“The judge’s order was clear: Donald J. Trump is in contempt of court and must pay $10,000 a day until he complies with our subpoenas. We’ve seen this playbook before, and it has never stopped our investigation of Mr. Trump and his organization.
New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron sided with James in a ruling Monday, concluding that Trump failed to comply with a prior court order enforcing a subpoena against him. James's office had subpoenaed a slew of documents for her investigation into whether the Trump Organization improperly manipulated asset valuations for tax and business benefit.
The attorney general's office sought documents in filing cabinets near Trump's office, according to court documents. Habba insisted they were irrelevant because he was not involved in the preparation of his financial statements — a claim that drew skepticism from the attorney general's office.
