New York, Attorney General Letitia James has filed a motion against Donald Trump.
Claiming that he has failed to comply with a previous ruling.
That requires him to turn over documents to her office by March 31st.
As part of her investigation into his company's financial dealings.
Now she wants him to pay $10,000 a day,
until he finally complies and turns over the documents.
So she released this report and she says.
Here the office of the Attorney General requests that the court imposed.
An appropriate remedy for
Mr trump's contemptuous conduct consisting of a daily fine.
Okay, this is the daily fine Mr trump will pay until he produces all responsive
documents in the amount of $10,000 per day.
A sum sufficient to coerce his compliance with the court's February 2022 order.
And an award to the office of the attorney general of its fees and
costs associated with filing this contempt motion.
To be determined based on the attorney general's further submission of
a costs affidavit.
Now, curious to see if this works with Trump.
Something very similar was implemented in the Alex Jones defamation case.
Where he was refusing to comply with the court and
the court started fining him $40,000 a day until he complied.
And guess what, he showed up to court trump might be a little different.
I'm curious to see how this plays out, but
I also wanna make the important distinction here.
This is the civil investigation into trump's potential financial fraud.
It's different from the criminal investigation that used to be ongoing.
But apparently those criminal investigations have kinda come
to a standstill which is concerning.
>> Yeah, so let me just be clear on the criminal investigation,
the Manhattan district Attorney's a coward.
Several prosecutors, top prosecutors resigned in protest
when he refused to criminally indict Trump for crimes.
He most clearly committed, the Manhattan DA an unbelievable coward.
So, now to the civil side.
I'm super curious to Ana, because trump doesn't have that much money.
The main money he has left is from right wing suckers,
who gave to his legal defense fund.
And he hasn't spent a dime of that on legal defense-
>> He's gonna spend it on his 2024
election bid.
>> No, not just that he's funneling it into his properties,
he's charging three times more foreign rent for his campaign.
That kinda exist, kinda doesn't exist.
He's just following it all back into his pocket, right?
But that's mainly the money he has left because he's a failed businessman.
Bankrupt six times, lost $400 million twice, so that's,
I give you that in the context of $10,000 a day.
If he actually was a billionaire probably Elon musk might be.
Yeah, I don't care because you like him or
you don't like him Elon musk is an actual billionaire, right trump is a fraud.
So $10,000 a day is probably making him sweat like a hog, so-
>> Maybe because look if Alex Jones
refuses to comply with the daily fine of $40,000, they'll put him in handcuffs.
Are they gonna do that with Donald trump if he refuses to comply with this
daily fine?
>> He probably, that's a great point Anna.
My guess is what he'll do,
is he'll accumulate all those fines in his mind until he wins again.
And which by the way right now he's favored.
So then the minute he gets into office, I pardon myself,
you think Trump wouldn't do that?
[LAUGH] He would do it, the first, second that he's back in office.
So probably that'll be the strategy they will go with.
