New York Attorney General Letitia James has asked a state judge to hold Trump in contempt for failing to comply by a previous ruling that required him to turn over documents by March 31st as part of James’ investigation into his business practices.
James has asked the judge to fine Trump $10,000 for every that he fails to comply by that order.
Trump, as well as his children Donald Jr. and Ivanka, were ordered by a judge to sit for depositions. They appealed the subpoena but didn’t challenge a separate part of the ruling which required them to hand over documents to the attorney general’s office.
“The judge’s order was crystal clear: Donald J. Trump must comply with our subpoena and turn over relevant documents to my office,” said Attorney General James. “Instead of obeying a court order, Mr. Trump is trying to evade it. We are seeking the court’s immediate intervention because no one is above the law.”
“Under settled law, a party is not permitted to delay proceedings at this advanced juncture in the legal process to challenge an investigative subpoena, so Mr. Trump does not have the ability to raise these baseless objections at this time,” she added in her statement.

This evil savage latitia james ימח שמה וזכרונה needs to implore the judges to come down with full ferociousness on real criminals including turnstile jumpers, and how dare she waste precious tax payers’ money taunting a totally innocent & most successful individual
I guess all other crimes such as shooting, stabbing and hate crimes are all under control… oh wait.
Anyone knows what happened to Hillary’s emails?
Man on a mission!
This is what the filthy treasonous America hating DemonRats are busy with.
While crime is out of control,and the city is turned into a jungle,where decent people are running away by the tens of thousands, as it has become an unlivable hell hole.
This filthy DemonRat who claims to be attorney general,does not consider armed robbery a felony anymore, but is busy harassing and investigating business dealings conducted years ago by law abiding citizens.
All of these Democratic sewer rats need to be vomited out by the electorate in the coming Nov.elections
And yet she lets Andrew Cuomo off the hook. He’s got a “D” before his name, so all is good.
It seems that many YW readers are unaware that the New York State Attorney General does not prosecute crimes of violence in our cities which is the job of local district attorneys.
The State AG investigates and prosecutes State crimes mostly white collar crimes.
Innocent law abiding citizens needn’t worry about investigation because such people have committed no crimes.
She’s an antisemitic cow!
Nothing else needs to be said!
Yaakov Doe, if you think that the reason she is going after Trump isn’t because of his politics, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
