(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 states demand for records.
Weve given millions and millions of pages and he says give more, give more, always give more, Trump said.
Trumps 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 doesnt have any personal records that are responsive to the subpoena.

BTW: I don't believe the "millions of pages" thing. His company was never big enough to accumulate that amount of documentation.
