New York judge says he would purge his contempt finding against former Pres. Trump provided he met certain conditions by the end of next week, including paying a daily fine that had accompanied the order.
Judge Arthur Engoron held Trump in contempt, and fined him $10,000 a day, for failing to comply with a subpoena for documents issued by the New York Attorney General's Office as part of a civil investigation into Trump's business practices.Trump's attorney said he had no documents responsive to the subpoena, but the judge faulted Trump's failure to swear, under oath, that he even bothered to look.
If Trump provides satisfactory affidavits, if an outside firm he hired to search his files completes a report and if he pays the fine, Engoron said he would lift the contempt order.Former President Donald Trump speaks to supporters during a rally in Greenwood, Neb. May 1, 2022.
He added,"At all relevant times, I have authorized, and continue to authorize, the release of a responsive document to the Office of the Attorney General.”
