A judge in New York found former President Donald Trump in contempt of court for failing to produce documents pursuant to a subpoena from state Attorney General Letitia James. James is conducting a civil probe of the Trump Organization's business practices.
Judge Arthur Engoron imposed a penalty of $10,000 a day until Trump fully complies.
James opened her civil probe of Trump business practices in 2019, after former Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen testified before Congress that Donald Trump was a "con man" who would routinely inflate or deflate the reported value of his assets to further his business interests.
Over the past few months, the probe moved into a new phase when James subpoenaed Trump and his two eldest children, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump. James was seeking testimony directly from the Trumps and documents directly in Donald Trump's custody, as opposed to papers held by the Trump businesses.
The Trumps made an array of motions to slow or block James' information-gathering, including filing a countersuit in federal court.

How DARE he refuse to incriminate himself. How DARE he refuse an unreasonable seizure.
Stupid man thinking the 4th and 5th Amendments mean something!
Seriously, though... How the hell is she issuing a subpoena for PRIVATE documents in a CIVIL probe????
