New York Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday asked a state judge to fine former President Donald Trump $10,000 a day until he turns over documents she subpoenaed as part of her civil investigation into the Trump Organization.
James wrote in a court filing that Trump agreed to comply "in full" with her subpoena by March 31, but failed to turn over all relevant materials. Her office is looking into whether the Trump Organization inflated the value of its real estate properties in order to get tax benefits and loans.
