Donald Trump said in a sworn filing that he does not personally have any documents subpoenaed by New York Attorney General Letitia James. Trump was held in contempt by a New York judge on Monday, and fined $10,000 per day, for failing to turn over the documents.
Trump appealed the contempt finding, and in a trio of affidavits filed Wednesday he and his attorneys insisted that his legal team had searched for documents in response to James' wide-ranging civil fraud investigation.
"To the best of my knowledge, I do not have any of the documents requested in the subpoena dated December 1, 2021 in my personal possession, and if there are any documents responsive to the subpoena I believe they would be in the possession or custody of the Trump Organization," Trump stated in the filing.
