Former President Donald Trump’s appeal to suspend a $10,000-a-day fine levied against him for contempt of court was denied on Tuesday by a New York appellate court.

The decision by Judge Tanya Kennedy of the appellate division of the state’s trial court means that Trump will have to continue paying the daily penalty while he challenges a lower-court ruling that he failed to turn over documents to the state in response to a subpoena.
