Judge rejects Trump's bid to end a contempt-of-court order that is costing him $10,000 a day

Raw Story  

A New York judge on Friday rejected former President Donald Trump's attempt to end a contempt-of-court finding, according to CNBC. Trump is being fined $10,000 a day for “willfully” disobeying an order to comply with a subpoena issued by New York Attorney General Letitia James back in December. James successfully argued that Trump was in violation of a court order to produce the accounting and tax documents to her investigators by March 31. "Donald Trump must pay $10,000 per day for every day that he continues to defy the court's order to turn over documents to my office," James added.
