Trump says he has no Trump Organization cell phones and asks judge to end contempt fines

New York (CNN)Former President Donald Trump said he no longer has four cell phones identified by the New York attorney general's investigation into the Trump Organization's finances but has turned over his personal phone to be searched as he tries to convince a state judge to lift a civil contempt ruling that so far has cost him $140,000.

In an affidavit filed with the court Friday, Trump said he doesn't currently have any phones, computers or electronic devices issued to him by the Trump Organization and that he has authorized his attorneys to search his homes in Bedminster, New Jersey, his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, and his personal residence in Trump Tower for any documents sought by New York Attorney General Letitia James' subpoena.

Trump's filing is his latest effort to try to end a $10,000 per day penalty that has accrued to $140,000. Judge Arthur Engoron previously rebuffed an earlier affidavit from Trump, saying it was "completely devoid of any useful detail." Trump also has appealed the contempt ruling.

In the new filing, Trump said he no longer has a phone given to him by the Trump Organization in 2015, two flip phones, or a Samsung phone he brought with him to the White House that was "taken from me at some point while I was President."

If the search the geolocation data they will be able to see the last time/location they were active.

If they can no longer see them they can not prove PDJT has them.

Didn’t Cankles McPantsuit smash her subpoenaed phones? Is she still being held in contempt for that? Anyone in jail for that still? How much did she pay in fines?

I can’t remember...
