If these documents were received as the result of a Freedom of Information Act request, they were copies, not the originals. It may cost him an additional fee, but, he should be able to resubmit his FOIA request and obtain them again.

he should be able to resubmit his FOIA request and obtain them again.

Would anyone like to place a bet that:

A. The original files are now gone and will not be provided to a new FOIA request, and

B. Somehow any response to a new request will be delayed until after the election.

FOIA requests are notoriously slow. I doubt he gets them until after November.
