The billionaire mogul is interrupting his campaigning to appear Monday in New York for jury duty. A campaign official confirmed Trump’s summons on Friday, CNN [reports](http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/14/politics/trump-jury-duty/). It’s not the first time the magnate has been summoned to appear before a jury. The New York Daily News reported earlier this summer that Trump had ignored five jury summons over nine years, and that a $250 fine would be erased when he appears on Monday. Trump’s Special Counsel Michael Cohen told [CNN](http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/17/politics/donald-trump-jury-duty-michael-cohen/index.html) on Monday that the previous jury duty summons were served to the wrong address. “You gotta serve it to the right property … I believe he owns the building but he doesn’t reside there,” Cohen said. “Nobody knows what happened to the document.” Trump said over the weekend that he’s “looking forward to appearing.” \[[CNN](http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/14/politics/trump-jury-duty/)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4000083/donald-trump-to-appear-for-jury-duty-on-monday-in-new-york/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4000083/donald-trump-to-appear-for-jury-duty-on-monday-in-new-york/"},"headline":"Donald Trump to Appear for Jury Duty on Monday in New York","datePublished":"2015-08-17T12:43:22.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-14T02:55:36.000Z","description":"He's ignored five summons in the past","url":"https://time.com/4000083/donald-trump-to-appear-for-jury-duty-on-monday-in-new-york/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election","Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt66746a020f7d6c20/69885f8f428a9eac09cceac5/trump-jury-duty.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sam Frizell","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sam-frizell/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt66746a020f7d6c20/69885f8f428a9eac09cceac5/trump-jury-duty.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"NEW YORK, NY - AUGUST 17: Republican Presidential hopeful Donald Trump waves as he arrives at U.S. Federal Court to report for jury duty on August 17, 2015 in New York City.
