A US judge has held former President Donald Trump in contempt for failing to turn over files for an investigation into his business practices.
The judge has ordered Trump pay a fine of US $10,000 per day until he complies.
New York Attorney General Letitia James had asked the court to hold Trump in contempt after he missed a March deadline to present certain documents.
The former president's lawyer had called the motion "frivolous".
James, a Democrat, opened a civil inquiry in 2019 into claims that - before he took office - Trump had inflated the value of his assets to banks when seeking loans.
