I try to resist speculating on why he wanted to keep the documents (the charges don’t say anything about motive, so I assume there isn’t much evidence he wanted to sell them) but he did try very hard to keep them. Can’t help but suspect the worst.
Just by way of keeping plates spinning, Ivana died later that week, on July 14. If one accepts Trump personally handled documents the prior weekend (after the subpoena), one can imagine his taking possession of some of them afterwards. And again, why would a man bury his ex-wife on his golf course?
