Trump’s advisers repeatedly sought to have him cooperate with the federal government when it came to returning documents he improperly removed from the White House in order to avoid the indictment charges — but he refused to do so.
Trump’s first opportunity to cooperate, for example, came in early 2021, when NARA lawyer Gary Stern reached out to Trump’s people to try to retrieve many of the documents that were taken. Some of Trump’s lawyers tried to convince him to return the materials at that time, but he refused to listen to them, reportedly confusing NARA officials who kept insisting that the documents, which belong to the government and not the former president, be returned.
The Justice Department then issued a subpoena for the return of the remaining classified materials, which Trump, through his lawyers, affirmed he had complied with in an affidavit written in June. However, Trump had his personal valet, Walt Nauta,, limiting their ability to search through the entirety of documents Trump had in his possession.
