Former President Donald Trump has been held in contempt of court by a New York judge for noncompliance with a subpoena and for refusing to provide documents he was ordered to produce for an investigation into his business operations.
What Happened: New York State Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron has enacted a penalty of $10,000 per day until Trump complies with the document request made by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who has been investigating the former president, some of his family members and several of his corporate entities for tax, insurance and bank fraud related to Trump-branded real estate holdings.
