Former President Donald Trump has filed an appeal to a New York judge’s ruling holding him in contempt and fining him $10,000 for every day that he doesn’t comply with state attorney general Letitia James’ subpoena.

On Tuesday, Judge Arthur Engoron said it was unacceptable that Trump continued to challenge the subpoena’s request for documents weeks after the judge had rejected Trump’s legal challenge against it.

According to reports from The Hill:

“OAG has satisfied its burden of demonstrating that Mr. Trump willfully disobeyed a lawful court order of which he had knowledge prejudicing OAG,” Engoron wrote, using an acronym for the Office of Attorney General.

“The purpose of civil contempt is not to punish, but, rather, to coerce and/or to compensate. OAG seeks to fine Mr. Trump $10,000 per day until he satisfies his obligations, which this Court, which has wide discretion in such matters, finds to be reasonable.”

The judge ruled in February that Trump must provide New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) with documents and testimony as part of her civil investigation into alleged fraud at his company.

Trump is appealing the order to sit for a deposition with investigators, but had not challenged the order to turn over documents.

Following Engoron’s ruling Trump’s attorney Alina Habba said they planned to file an appeal.

“This does not even come close to meeting the standard on a motion for contempt and, thus, we intend to appeal,” Habba said.
