Trump Pays $110K Fine But May Still Be Found in Contempt

The former president has until the end of the day to meet the requirements set by New York’s Attorney General.

Donald Trump may have paid a $110,000 fine but the New York Attorney General’s office says he hasn’t yet complied with all the steps required to have a contempt-of-court order against him lifted. A Manhattan judge held Trump in contempt last month after he failed to comply with a subpoena for documents as part of the AG’s civil investigation into the Trump Organization. He was fined $10,000 for each day he didn’t turn over the documents. In a Friday statement, the AG’s office said Trump paid $110,000 on Thursday and produced all the subpoenaed documents but, as of 12:15 p.m. Friday, had not turned over “additional affidavits with more detail about document searches and their destruction/retention policies.” All three conditions had to be met by Friday to purge the contempt order. “The third is still outstanding,” the office said. If Trump doesn’t comply, the $10,000-a-day fine could be reinstated.
