In a case involving possible financial tampering by former US President Donald Trump, a New York judge is ready to lift the penalty against him. That is what various American media write. Trump must meet various conditions by May 20, including paying a $ 110,000 (€ 105,000) fine.
The judge imposed a daily penalty of USD 10,000 (about EUR 9,500) because Trump did not respond to a subpoena. Trump himself called that unfair.
Trump and his group are accused of committing fraud to gain economic advantage. For example, the company would have made false statements about the value of immovable heritage, according to the prosecutor. Trump’s company denies all allegations.
Trump previously said he would have handed over “millions upon millions of pages” to the New York State Attorney investigating the Trump Organization, the Trumps’ business vehicle. But now the ex-president will have to come up with more “satisfactory” statements, the judge ruled. In addition, the company that was engaged to search the files of the Trump Organization is also required to prepare a report. Trump and his team now have 11 days to do this.
