A New York appeals court upheld a $110,000 penalty against former President Donald Trump for being in contempt of court during the state’s probe into allegedly fraudulent asset valuations at his company.
The judge who issued the fine last year correctly determined that Trump’s response to the state’s subpoena for records in his personal possession had “prejudicially violated the lawful, clear mandate of the court,” an appellate panel ruled Tuesday in Manhattan.
