Donald Trump email controversy

In June 2016 a USA Today article reported that Donald Trump and his companies have been deleting emails and other documents on a large scale, including evidence in lawsuits, sometimes in defiance of court orders and under subpeona since as early as 1973. In October 2016, Kurt Eichenwald published new research findings in Newsweek.

The findings were first published by Paul Singer on June 13, 2016 and gained larger attention after a new report in Newsweek on October 31, 2016. According to Newsweek, Trump and his companies "hid or destroyed thousands of documents" involving several court cases from as early as 1973.
In a court case beginning in 2005 against Enterainment LLC, an affiliate of real estate developer Cordish Cos., over a development under the Hard Rock brand, it was revealed that Trump's companies had deleted the data from their employees' computers every year at least since 2003. The lawyers had refused to instruct workers to keep all records related to the case during litigation.<ref name=":0" />
