|Updated:
Former President Donald Trump has appealed a New York judge’s order that found him in civil contempt of a subpoena and imposed a $10,000-per-day fine on him.

Trump’s attorneys filed the appeal on April 27 in the New York Supreme Court days after Judge Arthur Engoron issued the finding. They say that they'll raise four issues to the appellate division of the court, including whether the imposition of the fine “serves any purpose as either a compensatory or coercive remedy.”
