by March 31. Engoron agreed to fine Trump $10,000 for each day the failure to comply continues.
“Mr. Trump, I know you take your business seriously, and I take mine seriously,” Engoron said in issuing his order — appearing to address the former president directly even though Trump was not in the courtroom for the hearing. The judge said he would hold Trump in contempt until Trump and his legal team fully detail the extent of their search and either submit the records or swear that no records being sought exist.While the Trump Organization has given James’s office more than 6 million pages of records, investigators are still seeking items from Trump’s personal files, including handwritten notes related to statements of his net worth that he signed and submitted to banks and other parties.
Also at the hearing, a lawyer for James’s office said an “enforcement action” may soon be taken in the long-running civil investigation. James has the ability to sue over her findings, a move that could result in significant financial penalties and other repercussions for Trump’s family real estate and golf resort operation if they are found to be in violation of the law.
Trump lawyer Alina Habba said during the hearing that Trump “is an honest person, much to the dismay of certain people in this room.” She said Trump would appeal the decision.James opened a civil probe into the business practices of Trump and the family-run Trump Organization in 2019. She has said the Trump Organization and its executives may have broken the law by manipulating the value of assets for better loan rates and tax benefits.covering the same territory.
Who can actually say if he ( President Trump) gave all the paperwork or not? Was anyone there to prove that not all of it was turned over? What are they going to do... send someone to actually oversee if it wasn't? I thought the LEGAL system was innocent till proven guilty?
Instead of a $10,000 a day fine I rather it would be TWO days behind bars for each day he fails to turn over the records.
Arrest him please
Yeah we know. What else ya got?
What will they do when he refuses to pay? Nothing....
What is trump hiding in his busniess papers?
Geez, just comply already. What are you hiding man?
ongoing harassment !!
Wow, they sure stuck it to him. In about 500 years he's gonna really start feeling that.
Cue the fundraising pitches and the automatic withdrawals from MAGA bank accounts
I've held him in contempt for decades,
Everything he does is contempuous.
Lock Him Up! Lock Him Up! Lock Him Up!
Nothing will happen to him.
'Trump held in contempt for failing to hand over business records to N.Y. attorney general' ... If the US Attorney General can't prosecute Trump for SEDITION ... what chance does the NY AG have to prosecute Trump for CONTEMPT?
Throw his &%$ in jail AG and keep him there until after the next general election!!! 😂😂😂
Now the question is will he actually face any consequences
Facing vengeful Democrats Trump needs to become a Biblical Christian.

Trump famously doesn't pay any of his bills. How long can he run that game before he's taken into custody?
Twitter is back and fake news is about to be shut down!
Screw them
Nothing will come of it. TRUMP2024!
Contempt is the only word for him.
He's an extremely contemptable human being!
Hence the Derby fundraiser
But will anything actually be done about it?
Let's see how fast Trump will whine to his supporters so they can fork the bill.
Lock him up!!
Fines do nothing to punish or sway those who can seemingly conjure money out of thin air. Only the loss of personal freedom seems to have any effect on the rich. Arrest and jail him now.
So there needs to be a nationwide extradition warrant to get this guy's arse into court. Otherwise he will just sit in Florida with that sh*t-eating grin on his face.
Trump held in contempt for failing to hand over business records to N.Y. attorney general is free speech
Hell just find a few good suckers to pay it 🤷🏻♀️
Trump Trump Trump!!!
That's a Stormy Daniels every 13 days..
Good 😊😊😊😊😊
If trump can grift more than $10k a day by loudly bitching about this contempt finding, what good is it? Gotta go higher.
get my presidents name out your fcking mouth! 🤣
Another lawyer not going to get paid by Trump.
So, when will the warrant be issued so that Florida can extradite him 🤔 ArrestTrumpNow
Trump doest even know whats going on anymore. Poor guy
This goes viral, meanwhile Biden’s criminal empire - crickets.
That’s only $3m or so for a year. Probably less than he pays his lawyer team and a lot less than the fines if found guilty.
What took so long?!
I'm more interested in our present President's business dealings. Can ya help?
