Trump Pays $110K Fine, Must Submit Paperwork To End Contempt

NEW YORK (AP) โ€” Former President Donald Trump has paid the $110,000 in fines he racked up after being held in contempt of court for being slow to respond to a civil subpoena issued by New Yorkโ€™s attorney general.

The office of Attorney General Letitia James says Trump paid the fine Thursday but must still submit additional paperwork in order to have the contempt order lifted.

A Manhattan judge declared Trump in contempt of court April 25 and fined him $10,000 per day for not complying with a subpoena in Jamesโ€™ long-running investigation into his business practices.

Trump’s lawyer did not immediately comment.
