Don't lift Trump's contempt order yet, says New York attorney general

Former President Donald Trump's attempts to satisfy a state judge who has held him in contempt for failing to turn over subpoenaed documents "were undertaken in good faith," but were unsatisfactory, according to New York Attorney General Letitia James' office.
A former assistant to Trump who worked for his company for decades should provide more detail about the Trump Organization's practices for retaining and destroying documents, and answer other questions, special counsel Andrew Amer, an attorney for James's office, said Monday in a letter. Amer and other investigators from James' office are conducting a sprawling civil financial fraud probe of Trump and his company.
Trump was held in contempt April 25 after claiming he had no documents or electronic devices demanded in a subpoena by investigators for James' office. The subpoena sought documents related to Trump's personal finances, as well as information related to the financing of several properties. Trump was fined $10,000 per day through May 6, when his attorneys first filed explanations of their attempts to search for subpoenaed documents.
