Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron deemed Trump’s act “disobedience” for failing to hand over the documents requested by New York Attorney General Letitia James, and ordered the court to pay a $10,000 fine for each day of non-response.
Attorney General James’ lawyers have long denied Trump’s request in a court in New York that he did not show accurate figures on the values of real estate assets in order to obtain more profitable financial conditions for loan and insurance coverage for his company and to reduce his taxes, and that James, who requested the documents in question, did not comply for a long time criticized for not doing it.
While Trump did not attend today’s hearing, Attorney General James tweeted, “Justice has been served today,” right after Judge Engoron’s decision. he wrote.
CHARGED WITH CIVIL DISABILITY
On April 7, James requested that Trump be tried and fined for alleged civil disobedience and non-compliance with a court order, for failing to submit the documents requested by the court regarding the case against the family business.
Last week, Trump’s lawyer, Alina Habba, stated in the file she submitted to the court that “there is no document suitable for the subpoena”.
