“He never stopped ripping things up.”
Trump kept ripping documents even after he was warned by at least two chiefs of staff and the White House counsel of the importance of preserving records. Although it’s unclear how many records were lost or destroyed, it’s likely that “hundreds of documents, if not more” were torn up, reports the Post. It wasn’t just Trump either. One senior official tells the Post that it was often White House staffers who unilaterally decided what should be destroyed and placed in “burn bags.
Some aides described the ripping as more of a habit that he continued from his time as a businessman rather than a deliberate effort to make sure certain things didn’t make it into the public record. “When something irritated him, he would tear the document,” Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal lawyer, said. “The physical act of ripping the paper for Donald was cathartic, and it provided him a relief, as if the issue was no longer relevant.
