Mr. Cipollone and Mr. Philbin are the most senior people who worked for Mr. Trump who are known to have been interviewed by investigators after the National Archives referred the matter to the Justice Department this year.
Mr. Philbin was interviewed in the spring, according to two of the people familiar with the matter, as investigators reached out to members of Mr. Trumps circle to find out how 15 boxes of material some of it marked as classified made its way to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla. It was unclear when Mr. Cipollone was interviewed.
Mr. Cipollone and Mr. Philbin were Mr. Trumps representatives to deal with the National Archives; they were named to the positions shortly before the presidents term ended, in January 2021. At some point after National Archives officials realized they did not have Trump White House documents, which are required to be preserved under the Presidential Records Act, they contacted Mr. Philbin for help returning them.
A spokesperson for Mr. Philbin did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Mr. Philbin tried to help the National Archives retrieve the material, two of the people familiar with the discussions said. But the former president repeatedly resisted entreaties from his advisers.
Its not theirs, its mine, several advisers say Mr. Trump told them.

And that's the FINAL WORD on ownership of the documents. It now simply uncontestable! Declared by Trump, unargued by his ultra-qualified government legal types!
There's quite simply no further up the chain that this can go!

(111,097 posts)16. So these lawyers in the WH stood by and watched Trump withhold documents from the NARA...?
...and did not report it to the DOJ and did nothing about it?
Did they say nothing?
What was their job?
