Ahh. The many shades on contempt

So Trump ponied up roughly half of the fines he's incurred for refusing to obey court orders to produce documents, but he hasn't done the full Monty and put into black and white what his excuse/rationale for not having documents to produce is.

Admittedly, these affidavits are tough even if they're in destruction in the course of business stuff, but why can't Trump's lawyers just admit that he knows he doesn't give a shit about right and wrong and just destroys everything because he's sure anyone but he would object to his contempt for everyone and everything but himself.

Or, did they draft the affidavits and is he getting cold feet about signing them?
