JUDGE HOLDS FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IN CIVIL CONTEMPT FOR FAILING TO COMPLY WITH
DOCUMENT SUBPOENAS FROM NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL

By Sonia Moghe and Kara Scannell, CNN



Updated 1649 GMT (0049 HKT) April 25, 2022

Former President Donald Trump speaks at a rally Saturday, April 9, 2022, in
Selma, N.C.

(CNN)A New York judge is holding Donald Trump in civil contempt after the
state's attorney general's office said he did not comply with a subpoena for
documents as part of its investigation into the former President's company.

Judge Arthur Engoron said Trump failed to abide by his order to comply with the
subpoena, and that his attorneys failed to show how a search of materials held
by Trump was conducted. Engoron said Trump would be fined $10,000 a day until he
complies.
"Mr. Trump, I know you take your business seriously and I take mine seriously. I
hereby hold you in civil contempt and fine you $10,000 per day until you purge
that contempt," Engoron said at a hearing Monday.



New York Attorney General Letitia James' office has been investigating the Trump
Organization for more than two years and previously said her office found
multiple misleading or fraudulent misstatements and omissions in the Trump
Organization's financial statements, which were provided to lenders and
insurers, among others, as part of its investigation.

Andrew Amer, with the attorney general's office, said that Trump has failed to
produce "even a single responsive document" for a subpoena that was issued to
him in December.

"We are being hampered in our efforts to have a complete understanding because
we don't have evidence from the person who sits at the top of the organization,"
Amer said.
Kevin Wallace, with the attorney general's office, said in some instances it's
been "like pulling teeth" to get documents needed for the investigation, and
describing the Trump Organization as a closely-held family company with 500
entities and millions of dollars moving around.



Alina Habba, an attorney for Trump, said the former president does not believe
he is above the law, but simply does not have the types of written
communications that were sought by the subpoena, but that he produced hundreds
of thousands of documents through his assistants. Habba said she herself
searched Trump's heard copy calendars and physical file locations, and even
interviewed her client in Florida.
"President Trump does not email. He does not text message. And he has no work
computer at home or anywhere else," Habba said.
"I took it upon myself to get on a plane and flew down and asked him one by one
if there was anything that he had on his person that he had not given me I would
need that. And he did not," she said.
The judge asked why Trump didn't sign an affidavit swearing that he complied
with the subpoena. Habba said that he would.
"My client is an honest person, much to the dismay of certain people in this
room," Habba said.
James' office has said in court filings that the Trump Organization is under
investigation for engaging in fraudulent or misleading conduct in connection
with appraisals and financial statements. The office has subpoenaed both the
former president and his company for documents related to its investigation.
Habba argued that the attorney general's investigation has "seemingly become
aimless," saying that since it began three years ago, the Trump Organization has
been given six separate subpoenas, produced more than 6 million pages of
documents, and 13 Trump Organization witnesses have been deposed, among other
things.

"The scope is continuously changing to fit the attorney general's needs," Habba
said in court. "When it is not satisfied with the evidence it has obtained it
pivots and looks for something new."
This story is breaking and will be updated.
