Former President Donald Trump has paid a $110,000 contempt of court fine stemming from his failure to comply with a subpoena by New York Attorney General Letitia James' office, her office on Friday said.
Trump's payment of the fine on Thursday, however, does not satisfy the underlying contempt charge or "purge" it. Trump is yet to submit additional affidavits with more specifics about the document searches as well as destruction and retention policies.
A judge in April ordered Trump to pay a $10,000 a day fine for not heeding a March 31 deadline to turn over documents in the state attorney general's civil investigation of the former president's business interests. Earlier this month, the judge in the case determined Trump could pay a $110,000 fine and meet the court's demands, the contempt charge could be dropped.
James' office has been investigating whether Trump and the Trump Organization inflated the value of his properties in New York City and the surrounding area.
Trump has called the investigation a witch hunt and denied any wrongdoing.
