New York Attorney General Letitia James (D), had sought to have Trump held In Contempt-of-Court for Refusing to provide Documents for her Probe.
Today, a Court has ruled, to hold Trump in Civil Contempt after Refused to turn over Documents related to the Investigation into him and the Trump Organization’s Financial Dealings.
According to the Ruling by a Judge at the New York State Supreme Court, Trump must now pay $10,000 per day for every day he continues to Refuse to provide the Documents.
“Today, justice prevailed,” James tweeted. “Our investigation into Donald Trump and the Trump Organization’s financial dealings will continue undeterred because no one is above the law.”
Earlier this month, James argued in Court Papers that Trump should be fined “a sum sufficient to coerce his compliance” after he missed a March 31st Court-imposed Deadline to turn over the Documents.
Trump is currently Appealing a February Court ruling, that said he must answer Questions under Oath in James’ Investigation, but the Attorney General said Trump has Not yet appealed a Ruling establishing the Deadline for him to provide Documents.
James said her Investigation into Trump’s Business Practices, has revealed Evidence that he allegedly Misstated the Value of Assets, like Golf Courses and Skyscrapers, on his Financial Statements, Taxes and Loan Documents, for over a Decade.
James Office has said it is seeking Trump’s Testimony and Documents, while it works to determine whether the Misstated Values and other Business Interests constituted Fraud, and if so, who may be behind it.
