New York Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday filed a motion to hold Donald Trump in contempt for failing to release evidence around possible fraud rife within the Trump Organization – a move that could result in the former president being fined $10,000 per day until he complies with her request.
"The judge's order was crystal clear: Donald J Trump must comply with our subpoena and turn over relevant documents to my office," James said in a press release. "Instead of obeying a court order, Mr Trump is trying to evade it. We are seeking the court's immediate intervention because no one is above the law."
