TFG Says Contempt Judge 'Unfair,' Seeks Halt to $10,000 Daily Fine

(Bloomberg) -- Former President Donald Trump asked an appeals court to suspend his $10,000-a-day fine for contempt of court, saying in an interview that the judge in the case is “unfair.”

“We have a judge that frankly has been unbelievably unfair,” Trump said on the phone Monday, one week after state court Judge Arthur Engoron ruled the former president violated a court order by missing a March 31 deadline to respond to the state’s demand for records.

“We’ve given millions and millions of pages and he says give more, give more, always give more,” Trump said.

Trump’s lawyer, Alina Habba, asked a New York appellate court to place the fine on hold, calling it “patently improper and impermissible by law.” She insists that her client doesn’t have any personal records that are responsive to the subpoena.

It’s obvious her Civil Procedure professor didn’t make it sufficiently clear.

It seems one could conclude he has something to hide.
BTW: I don't believe the "millions of pages" thing. His company was never big enough to accumulate that amount of documentation.

Keep stalling Chump, maybe you'll achieve your 7th bankruptcy by the end of the year.
