It\u2019s blocked the officers from accessing discovery \u201cto which they are entitled,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf these fines prove ineffective, I will consider additional steps to spur her compliance,\u201d reads the order finding Wren in civil contempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The judge wrote that additional sanctions, such as incarceration, were possible if the organizer does not comply with the subpoena. But at a hearing Wednesday, he said he would prefer not to \u201cresort to incarceration,\u201d Politico reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The officers are seeking documents from Wren regarding the planning and fundraising for the event, in addition to communications about planning, security, encouraging attendance and the VIP section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Longtime Trump ally Rudy Giuliani has also so far defied a subpoena stemming from the lawsuit.
