A New York state appeals court on Tuesday upheld an order finding Donald Trump in civil contempt for having failed to comply with a subpoena from New York Attorney General Letitia James in her probe of his business practices.
In a 5-0 decision, the Appellate Division in Manhattan said James had established by "clear and convincing evidence" that Trump's response to the Dec. 1, 2021, subpoena was inadequate.
The court said Trump's claim that a diligent search had failed to uncover relevant documents in his possession, without explaining what steps were taken to ensure nothing would be lost or discarded, "prejudicially violated the lawful, clear mandate of the court, of which he had knowledge."
It also said Justice Arthur Engoron, who oversees the case in a state court in Manhattan, had discretion to impose a $10,000 daily fine until Trump complied with the subpoena.
Trump accumulated, and later paid, $110,000 in fines.
Lawyers for the former U.S. president did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Wise people have understood these things in this country and other countries in the past...
Well, he should have claimed they were yoga and wedding emails. Then he would be allowed to defy a subpoena and destroy the evidence.
They won’t leave him alone..
In the meantime, the bidens are to their eyeballs in corruption. If law has seen the laptop, why are they still free. If law has not seen the laptop, why not!
Let the public see the contents.. and watch.
What makes you think we voted for this?

The last state government stooge in New Yawk Sh*tty can turn out the lights...
Trump trolls the Court, and watch the court go down the kangaroo court road so far that it gets reprimanded and reversed by SCOTUS.
Do you truly think that anything like that will happen?
How about the Clinton cartel? They are New York residents who made $3.6 BILLION in Haitian aid money disappear from their “charity” and they got not even a parking ticket.
I hold Justice Arthur Engoron in contempt.
Sure do. Watch the pefty judges and the AG have tantrums.
And watch their continued overstepping while trampling Trumps civil rights. They have already made gross mistakes and they will get worse.
Its actually a very successful strategy employed several times already against constitutionally compromised judiciary.
Wish in one hand...
And no one even mentions that Clinton destroyed evidence, and
was a serious national security risk, which has been proven
by people and entities that gained access to her computer
server.
Nah, lets go after Trump on trumped up charges that don’t
amount to a hill of beans in the overall scheme of things.
Communist judges
If Trump had put in place actual conservatives with respect for the constitution then he might benefit from USSC ruling. Since he appointed justices who are not conservatives(Especially the last two) then there is not much benefit for him to reap.
Trump reached into his pocket and gave them 110k. He laughed all the way home.
Agree! NYC, Boston, Philly, Baltimore, and especially..
WASHINGTON DC!
Add Atlanta to the mix.
I can’t believe one of Soros’ pancake mammies hasn’t given up on the white boy yet. She’ll never get Trump. She’s too friggin’ stupid and Georgie Porgie Soreass doesn’t have enough money or brains.
