Former President Donald Trump has asked an appeals court to suspend his $10,000-a-day fine for contempt of court after New York judge Arthur Engoron last week denied a request to reverse it.

Engoron ruled in April that Trump violated a court order by missing a March 31 deadline to hand over documents in response to a subpoena served on him by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) as part of an ongoing investigation into the business practices of his family company, the Trump Organization.
