Earlier this week New York Judge Arthur Engoron held Donald Trump in contempt and ordered a fine of $10,000 per day that he refuses to turn over documents to New York Attorney General Letitia James.

During a hearing on Monday, the judge considered James’ contempt request.

“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 a day,” Engoron ruled.

The documents that James is requesting relate to the Trump Organization’s business dealings. She claims that the organization manipulated property values for tax purposes.

Trump will have to pay $10,000 per day until his lawyers do a more thorough search of “all of Trump’s mobile phones, Trump Tower in Manhattan, each of Trump’s properties where he maintains a “private residence” and “personal office,” off-site storage locations, and in “all electronic devices issued by the Trump Organization to Trump’s executive assistants.”

Yep. I think this guy is an Obama appointee.

[Macho MAGA Man]

Nevermind. Scratch that being an Obama appointee.

[TakebackGOP]

Political activists on the bench. The GOP should be speaking out on this.

If elected, DeSantis would receive the same treatment, but he wouldn’t have the means to fight the fake charges.

Well I mean, it stinks, but Trump made $600 million last year, so $10,000 a day to him is the equivalent of you or me being fined a quarter a day. In other words I doubt Trump is sweating the fines too much...

[chopperk]

Is McConnell behind this???

[gibsonguy]

Don’t kid yourself. Trump is wealthy but he is not Musk wealthy. $10,000 a day adds up to a lot of money pretty quickly. It’s punitive and he feels it.

Another Feral screwball commie “judge” taking a pot shot at President Trump. So what else is new? “Judgey” earned a sniff from Jo Jo the Pedophile Clown.

Not on her laptop....in her nightstand.

[Macho MAGA Man]

I wouldn’t discount that possibility.

[philled]

I think the documents are with the Rose Law Firm billing records.

[Gnome1949]

You think they won’t do the same thing to Desantis?

You are dreaming.

It’s usually a convenience to the government

And is this the same set of allegations to which the grand jury is set to NO BILL?

[neverevergiveup]

I like DeSantis, and think he'd be a great candidate and President. That said, no matter who has the R after the name is going to be targeted. The only way to deal with people like Letitia James is to investigate her and hold her up to scrutiny. I wonder what her financial records look like?

By the way, James once sued a day laborer because she walked into the trailer hitch on his car. https://gothamist.com/news/councilwoman-files-suit-after-walking-into-parked-car

DeSantis will simply face the same dirty politics. The only things going to stop this is the judge receiving feedback of a nature that causes him/her/it to behave himself/herself/itself.

DeSantis said he won’t run, if Trump is running. DeSantis for VP?
