In a court statement, Attorney General Letitia James said Trump had not complied with his previous agreement to “fully” comply with her summons for documents and information by March 31. James demanded that Trump be fined $ 10,000 a day until he complied. “The judge’s mandate was clear: Donald Jay Trump must comply with our summons and hand over the relevant documents to my office,” James said in a statement. He added: “Instead of obeying a court ruling, Mr. Trump is trying to avoid it. We ask for the immediate intervention of the court because no one is above the law “. Trump’s lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for comment. James’s three-year investigation and a parallel criminal investigation led by Manhattan Attorney Alvin Bragg focused on whether the Trump administration mishandled its real estate values to obtain favorable loans and tax breaks. Last week, James said her research had found “significant evidence” that for more than a decade the company’s financial statements were “based on misleading asset valuations and other misleading statements to secure financial benefits.” Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and has not been charged with a felony. He called the search a “witch hunt”.
