New York AG Asks Judge to Fine Trump $10K a Day
https://www.thedailybeast.com/new-york-attorney-general-letitia-james-asks-judge-to-fine-trump-dollar10k-a-dayA judge will now decide whether Trump should be fined for not turning over evidence that he has already been ordered to deliver.
New York’s attorney general formally asked a judge on Thursday to hold former President Donald Trump “in contempt of court” and impose a $10,000 daily fine for his refusal to turn over evidence, even after he was ordered to by a state judge.
The proposed fine would continue to mount every day that Trump fails to turn over the evidence that has been demanded.
Trump and his family corporate empire are under attack by Attorney General Letitia James, whose probe into the company’s alleged bank fraud has reached a turning point. The company has only a month left to turn over evidence, while Trump and two of his adult children face a potential grilling by investigators.
Following a legal clown show on Feb. 17, New York State Judge Arthur F. Engoron ordered the former president, Don Jr., and Ivanka Trump to sit down for sworn testimony for their alleged role in a long-running business fraud scheme. That order is now making its way through the state’s appellate courts.

Why do I have a feeling he will be ordered to pay and won't?
And then appeal that and continue to delay until the end of time?
