New York Attorney General Letitia James asked a judge Tuesday to sanction Donald Trump, other defendants, and their lawyers for rehashing the same legal arguments in James’ big civil fraud lawsuit against the former president.
James asked that all the defendants be fined $10,000 collectively, and that another fine of $10,000 be imposed on their lawyers collectively.
The attorney general, in a court filing Tuesday, noted that the judge has discretion to “impose financial sanctions upon any party or attorney in a civil action or proceeding who engages in frivolous conduct.”
