$10,000 a DAY…..
The Fed’s may not be getting into Donald Trump….
But?
New York State Attorney General’s HAVE…..
A judge on Monday morning will consider whether to hold former President Trump in contempt for violating a court order that he comply with a subpoena regarding a civil investigation into his business practices.
New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) is asking a state judge to fine Trump $10,000 for each day that he has failed to turn over documents relevant to its subpoena.
Earlier this month, her office accused Trump of defying the court order by claiming that he doesn’t have any documents sought by the subpoena and even raising objections to the records demand after he was commanded to comply with it.
“Mr. Trump’s purported ‘Response’ violates the Court’s order; it is not full compliance, or any degree of compliance, but simply more delay and obfuscation,” James’s office wrote in its contempt motion.
“In the circumstances presented here, long after the subpoena’s return date had passed, and long after this Court denied the motion to quash, Mr. Trump had no further right to contest the subpoena.”
The investigation is a civil matter, meaning it can’t lead directly to criminal charges, but it’s running parallel to a Manhattan district attorney probe which has already resulted in the indictment of the Trump Organization’s chief financial officer.
While Trump has repeatedly attacked James and her probe into his business practices, his lawyers deny that he has improperly withheld anything from investigators….
Note….
Trump has legal issues before the Manhattan DA, Fulton County Georgia DA and maybe even the Justice Dept in connection with the House Jan. 6 probe and possibly the White House files that ended up at his Florida house that were marked ‘Classified‘….
