A federal judge in the United States has found former President Donald Trump in contempt of court on Monday after he refused to give over documents linked to an investigation into probable fraud in the Trump family’s business transactions.
The judge, Arthur Engoron, decided in favor of New York State Attorney General Letitia James, who is conducting a civil investigation into the former president and the Trump Organization.
James successfully argued that Trump was in violation of a court order to produce the accounting and tax documents to her investigators by March 31.
“In a major victory, a court has ruled in our favour to hold Donald Trump in contempt of court,” she wrote on Twitter.
