Trump has also alleged that Clinton smashed her phones with a hammer to destroy evidence that was under subpoena. The FBI found that Clinton tech support aide Jason Cooper had hammered two old Clinton phones that had been taken out of service, an effective method to ensure that data on a phone is rendered unrecoverable, but there was no evidence Cooper did this in response to a subpoena. Cooper told the [[House Oversight and Government Reform Committee|House Oversight Committee]] that when he upgraded Clinton's phones to a newer model, he would first transfer and back up data from the old phone before destroying it.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Kessler |first1=Glenn |title=Why wasn’t Hillary Clinton also indicted, Trump asks.

On May 23, 2022, Trump noted how Clinton's attorney had taken the blame for the missing emails, while at the same time criticizing Clinton on the campaign trail for her use of the email server, making it, as reporters Adam Edelman, Allan Smith and Amanda Terkel noted "central to his candidacy"<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Edelman |first1=Adam |last2=Smith |first2=Allan |last3=Terkel |first3=Amanda |date=2023-06-09 |title=11 revelations from the Trump classified documents indictment |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-indictment-document-classified-key-takeaways-rcna88611 |access-date=2023-06-10 |website=NBC News |language=en |archive-date=June 10, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230610000901/https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-indictment-document-classified-key-takeaways-rcna88611 |url-status=live }}</ref> As Evan Corcoran paraphrased it in his 2023 testimony to federal investigators, which was released with the attorney's name redacted, Trump had said:<blockquote>“[Attorney], he was great, he did a great job. You know what? He said, he said that it—that it was him. That he was the one who deleted all of her emails, the 30,000 emails, because they basically dealt with her scheduling and her going to the gym and her having beauty appointments. And he was great. And he, so she didn’t get in any trouble because he said that he was the one who deleted them.”<ref>{{Cite news |date=9 June 2023 |title=Read the full text of the Trump indictment in classified documents case |pages=21–22 |newspaper=Washington Post |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/06/09/indictment-document-trump-classified-documents-pdf/ |access-date=9 June 2023 |archive-date=June 9, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230609214647/https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/06/09/indictment-document-trump-classified-documents-pdf/ |url-status=live }}</ref></blockquote>
