Shortly after the agreement was signed on Wednesday, Engoron held a court hearing during which both sides argued over whether the contempt punishment could finally be lifted. However, assistant attorney general Andrew Amer noted that Trump had somehow managed toby sending investigators on a wild goose chase. The law enforcement office is trying to figure out why certain documents they sought have been destroyed, and he felt that Trump’s explanation didn’t hold up.
However, when investigators went ahead and asked Trump’s long-time assistant Rhona Graff about that on May 31, they learned that Trump would sometimes initial certain documents and other department heads were the ones who’d figure out what to do with those notes—which were often yellow Post-Its that would get ripped up and chucked in the trash.
“We have produced over 6 million pages of documents… have held $110,000 in escrow… they want to investigate back to the day he was born, effectively,” Habba said. “We're being held at gunpoint… they just want more. It's not right, your honor."
