A New York judge held a commercial real estate firm that appraised several Trump Organization properties in contempt for failing to hand over documents related to a civil investigation into former President Donald Trump's business practices.

Cushman & Wakefield failed to comply with subpoenas issued by New York Attorney General Letitia James's office and will be fined $10,000 per day until it produces the requested documents, starting Thursday."Cushman & Wakefield has only itself to blame if it chose to treat the looming deadlines cavalierly," Judge Arthur Engoron wrote in a contempt order filed Tuesday.

James championed the latest ruling as a victory, saying Cushman & Wakefield's work for Trump and his organization was"clearly relevant" to the investigation. The attorney general's office served Cushman & Wakefield in September 2021 and February 2022. The real estate firm only partially responded to the subpoenas before advising the attorney general's office that it would not provide the remaining records in March, Engoron said.

what is the evidence they submitted to the judge that warranted the subpoena of these documents? You don't just ask for them, you actually have to show the court there was some evidence of wrongdoing.
