Judge finds Trump in contempt in fight with NY AG

A New York judge has found former President Donald Trump in contempt of court for failing to adequately respond to a subpoena issued by the state's attorney general as part of a civil investigation into his business dealings.

Judge Arthur Engoron on Monday ordered Trump to pay a fine of 10,000 USD per day. New York Attorney General Letitia James had asked the court to hold Trump in contempt after he missed a March 31 court-imposed deadline to turn over documents.

Trump has been fighting James in court over her investigation, which he has previously called a politically motivated "witch hunt."
