Well, in some ways now, I hope the bastard continues to refuse to cooperate and maybe, just maybe, he gets some jail time until he produces his business documents.

A New York judge held former President Donald Trump in contempt of court Monday for failing to comply with a subpoena for business documents related to a civil investigation by the state attorney general’s office of his company.

Trump will have to pay $10,000 per day for as long as he fails to comply with the subpoena.

The contempt finding by Judge Arthur Engoron in Manhattan Supreme Court came after a more than two-hour hearing in which lawyers for New York Attorney General Letitia James blasted Trump for dragging his feet in turning over the demanded documents.
 
Bravo for The Donald.

The Supreme Court should rule on this matter.

Not some little judge in New York.
 
This is a civil case right?

New York Attorney General Letitia James run on a platform that she would get Trump and that is what she is trying to do now.

Why would the US Supreme Court involve themselves in a subpoena from a state court?

His lawyer claims he doesn't have the documents, so this could go on for a long time. $10,000 a day is $3.65 million a year.

Because it involves a former President of the United States of America (the most powerful and influential nation in the world -- at least for a few more decades).

Where in the constitution is this special privilege for “former presidents” outlined?

That's for the Supreme Court to decide.

The Constitution implies many things.

That's why it has existed for all these years.
