The Appellate Division in Manhattan said prosecutors had established by 'clear and convincing evidence' that Mr Trump's response to a 2021 subpoena was inadequate.
abc.net.au/news/judge-upholds-donald-trump-contempt-order-and-fine/101976302A New York state appeals court has 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.
The court said Mr 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 the discretion to impose a $US10,000 daily fine until Mr Trump complied with the subpoena.Lawyers for the former US president did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.
Ms James said the decision "sends a clear message that there are consequences for abusing the legal system".
