Donald Trump must pay the New York Attorney General’s Office $110,000 after being found in contempt of court and losing his appeal Tuesday, a panel of three judges ruled. In April, the New York County State Supreme Court found Trump in contempt of court for not complying with subpoena orders. The former president appealed the decision in May, leading an appellate judge to rule in favor of James’ office.
