Judge says $10,000-a-day fine stopped accruing Friday when ex-president and his lawyers filed new affidavits
Donald Trump must pay a $110,000 fine to the New York state attorney and meet other conditions to purge a contempt of court order for his failure to comply with a subpoena in a civil investigation into his business practices, a judge said on Wednesday.
The judge, Arthur Engoron, told a virtual hearing a $10,000-a-day fine he imposed on the former president in late April stopped accruing on Friday, when Trump and his lawyers filed new affidavits detailing steps they took to find documents relevant to the investigation by Letitia James, the state attorney general.
