After hearing arguments on Monday, Judge Arthur Engoron of the New York County State Supreme Court ruled that Donald J. Trump is in contempt of court for failing to comply with his previous orders to provide documents to the Office of the Attorney General.

The judge imposed a $10,000 fine on Trump for every day that he continues to violate the court’s order to produce business documents. The New York State Attorney General's office is investigating Trump's business practices and gave him until March 31 to provide business documents.

Also on Monday, Judge Engoron ordered Cushman & Wakefield (Cushman) to comply with subpoenas related to the investigation into Trump. James called this a "second court victory" in the "ongoing civil investigation into Donald J. Trump and the Trump Organization’s financial dealings."

The New York County State Supreme Court judge ruled that Cushman must comply with subpoenas served on them by the Office of Attorney General related to its real estate work for the Trump Organization and turn over these documents to OAG by May 27, 2022.
