Trump held in contempt for failing to hand over business records to N.Y. attorney general
by March 31. Engoron agreed to fine Trump $10,000 for each day the failure to comply continues.
“Mr. Trump, I know you take your business seriously, and I take mine seriously,” Engoron said in issuing his order — appearing to address the former president directly even though Trump was not in the courtroom for the hearing. The judge said he would hold Trump in contempt until Trump and his legal team fully detail the extent of their search and either submit the records or swear that no records being sought exist.While the Trump Organization has given James’s office more than 6 million pages of records, investigators are still seeking items from Trump’s personal files, including handwritten notes related to statements of his net worth that he signed and submitted to banks and other parties.
Also at the hearing, a lawyer for James’s office said an “enforcement action” may soon be taken in the long-running civil investigation. James has the ability to sue over her findings, a move that could result in significant financial penalties and other repercussions for Trump’s family real estate and golf resort operation if they are found to be in violation of the law.
Trump lawyer Alina Habba said during the hearing that Trump “is an honest person, much to the dismay of certain people in this room.” She said Trump would appeal the decision.James opened a civil probe into the business practices of Trump and the family-run Trump Organization in 2019. She has said the Trump Organization and its executives may have broken the law by manipulating the value of assets for better loan rates and tax benefits.covering the same territory.
