Trump loses bid to stay contempt of court ruling – must continue paying $10K-per-day fine

Raw Story  

According to a breaking news report from CNBC News, former President Donald Trump lost his bid to stay a contempt of court order from a New York judge on Tuesday. "An appeals court has DENIED Donald Trump's request to pause $10,000 a day in fines while he appeals a judge's civil contempt order. James successfully argued late last month that Trump was in violation of a court order to produce the accounting and tax documents to her investigators by March 31. Last July the Trump Organization and its long-serving finance chief, Allen Weisselberg, pleaded not guilty in a New York court to 15 felony fraud and tax evasion charges.
