NEW YORK — Former President Donald Trump said in a sworn affidavit that he’s not aware of any records in his personal possession that should be handed over to New York state authorities probing potentially fraudulent asset valuations at his real estate company.
The affidavit filed Friday is part of Trump’s effort to appease a Manhattan judge who held the former president in contempt of court and fined him $10,000 a day for “willfully” disobeying a court order to comply with the subpoena issued in December by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
“If there are any documents responsive to the subpoena I believe they would be in the possession or custody of the Trump Organization,” he said in the affidavit.
