NEW YORK — Donald Trump paid a $110,000 fine to lift an order holding him in contempt of court for failing to adequately respond to a New York state subpoena for his records.
The former president paid the fine on Thursday, according to a spokesperson for New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is investigating potentially fraudulent asset valuations at Trump’s sprawling real-estate company.
Trump was held in contempt last month for failing to fully comply with a subpoena of documents in his personal possession relevant to the investigation. Trump had argued that he had no such records to hand over, but the judge said his explanation of the search was insufficient.
