AG: Fine Trump $10K a day for failing to turn over evidence
FILE - Former President Donald Trump speaks at the Conservative Political Action Conference , Feb. 26, 2022, in Orlando, Fla. New York's attorney general Letitia James is seeking on Thursday, April 7, to hold Trump in contempt of court for not providing documents, part of the ongoing investigation into his financial dealings.
The Democrat's affirmation of the investigation was part of a double dose of bad legal news for Trump on Thursday. Pomerantz, a former mafia prosecutor brought out of private practice last year to lead the Trump criminal probe, wrote in his resignation letter that he believed Trump is “guilty of numerous felony violations” but that Bragg, who inherited the probe when he took office in January, had decided not to pursue charges.
After Pomerantz and Dunne left the D.A.’s office, Trump lawyer Robert Fischetti told the Associated Press: “I’m a very happy man. In my opinion, this investigation is over.” Weisselberg’s lawyers filed court papers in February asking a judge to throw out his case, arguing that prosecutors targeted him as punishment because he wouldn’t flip on the former president.
