Donald Trump's secret weapons are a paper shredder and a delete button.
The white nationalist rhetoric and "lock her up" chants might be getting
all the attention, and Trump himself has lost his mind with glee over FBI
director James Comey's announcement of potential new Hillary Clinton
emails, but the candidate and his companies have been conveniently
destroying thousands of emails and paper documents that were requested by
prosecutors going back decades, a new investigation from Newsweek's Kurt
Eichenwald reveals.
The pattern of behavior predates email, starting at least in 1973, when
both Donald Trump, his father Fred Trump and their companies were sued by
the federal government over charges that they systematically refused to
rent apartments to black tenants. Trump began by stalling and missing
deadlines to turn over important and likely incriminating documents for
months. As Eichenwald points out, this was particularly egregious because:
When litigation is filed or even contemplated, scrupulous lawyers and
corporations immediately impose document-retention programs or require
that any shredding or disposing of records be halted. Courts have handed
down severe sanctions or even criminal charges of obstruction of justice
against executives and companies that destroyed records because they knew
they were going to be sued.
Trump used the extra time to tell the press that "that the feds had no
evidence he and his father discriminated against minorities, but instead
were attempting to force them to lease to welfare recipients who couldn'tt
pay their rent." He also filed a $100 million counter suit for libel,
which only dragged the case on further.
Even when government lawyers had warrants to search Trump's offices, he
would act as if they showed up unannounced. He'd refuse to give over the
materials even judges had demanded and take every opportunity to tell
reporters "storm troopers" had invaded his offices and the prosecutor had
unlawfully badgered his employees. After over six months of delays, Trump
finally admitted in a deposition that, as Eichenwald notes:
The Trumps had been destroying their corporate records for the previous
six months and had no document-retention program. They had conducted no
inspections to determine which files might have been sought in the
discovery requests or might otherwise be related to the case. Instead, in
order to save space, Trump testified, officials with his company had been
tossing documents into the shredder and garbage.
That case ended in a civil settlement, but despite an agreement to
implement policies that would force Trump's company to comply with federal
housing regulations, the blatant discrimination continued. In fact,
Trump's strategy, which Eichenwald describes as "deny, impede and delay,
while destroying documents the court had ordered them to hand over," has
been effective ever since, and even more so when the plaintiffs are
private citizens.
Eichenwald cites two egregious cases, both in Florida. In Fort Lauderdale,
a group of tenants claimed they were scammed by Trump into buying
apartments, because they were led to believe that Trump owned the
development. But he had merely licensed his name to the developers, which
means when the project became problematic financially, he simply walked
away, and claimed to have no insurance to cover his liabilities nor pay
the tenants the money they lost for apartments they would never live in.
It turned out that the company had a policy, but it simply hid that fact.
The case, one of a number of similar suits Trump faced during this period,
settled out of court.
Eichenwald also points out that even when Trump is the one suing,
destroying and hiding documents is a regular practice for him. In 2005,
Trump sued Cordish Cos., whose affiliate, Power Plant Entertainment LLC,
built two American Indian casinos in Florida in 2000. He claimed the
companies had colluded with a former associate to cheat him out of the
project, and therefore both casinos should be turned over to him
entirelynot partial profits, but absolutely everything. One might think
such a claim wouldn't be made without a mountain of documentation for
evidence, but that isn't Trump's style. A year into the case, there was
only a box of documents, nearly all of them irrelevant.
