Former President Donald Trump was released from a civil contempt of court order Wednesday, provided he pays a $110,000 fine and meets several conditions by May 20.
If Trump fails to comply with the conditions set by the judge, he vowed to reinstate the contempt of court ruling and apply it retroactively."I want the fine paid," New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron said."That fine is now $110,000."
On Friday, Trump turned over an updated affidavit claiming that he no longer possessed the mobile devices requested by New York Attorney General Letitia James, CNN reported. An outside company also told the court it reviewed over 1,300 boxes searching for material that may have been subject to the subpoena, the New York Times reported.
James is conducting a civil investigation into whether the Trump Organization improperly manipulated asset valuations for tax and business benefit, as former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen claimed in congressional testimony. She sought documents from three mobile devices Trump used and files that were once located near his office, according to court documents.
