New York State Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron says Donald Trump is in contempt of court and fined him $10,000 a day for what he said was the former president’s failure to comply with a subpoena issued by state Attorney General Letitia James for her civil-fraud investigation, reports the Wall Street Journal. Trump’s lawyers had argued that certain materials requested by James didn’t exist, but Justice Engoron said they hadn’t provided any admissible evidence that showed they adequately searched for documents sought by the subpoena. One lawyer for the attorney general said the state could bring a lawsuit in its Trump probe soon while another said the lack of materials provided by Trump had hampered New York’s investigation, adding that the Trump Organization had turned over only 10 documents from the former president.
