ABC News reports Friday afternoon a judge has now rejected Trump’s sworn claim. He will continue to be fined $10,000 a day.
CNN’s Kara Scannell posted the affidavit. Its wording is very specific.
It states in part, “To the best of my knowledge…I do not have any of the documents…in my personal possession.”
