In a bench ruling Monday, Judge Arthur Engoron ruled there was no evidence that Trump had conducted a "proper, thorough search" for items that might be relevant to the subpoena, and said that what his attorney offered as evidence of compliance was "woefully insufficient."
Addressing Trump, who was not in court, Engoron said, "I know you take your business seriously, and I take mine seriously."
Engoron imposed a daily fine of $10,000 until Trump is fully compliant or offers sufficient proof he has nothing more to turn over.
