NEW YORK — A Manhattan judge held former President Donald Trump in civil contempt Monday, slapping him with daily $10,000 fines for “repeated delays and failures” to comply with New York Attorney General Letitia James’ fraud investigation.

“Mr. Trump, I know you take your business seriously, and I take mine seriously. I hereby hold you in civil contempt and fine you $10,000 a day,” Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron said, addressing Trump, though the former president was not present for the hearing.

The judge ruled the former president flouted a court-ordered March 31 deadline to turn over paperwork. The fines will continue until Engoron decides Trump has fully complied with James’ demands for documents.
