The National Archives received texts and emails from MarkMeadows.
After he submitted his submissions to the committee, communications were missing.
It could be a coincidence, but more came in after the search, according to a source.
Within a week of the FBI's Mar-a-Lago search, the National Archives received new texts and emails from MarkMeadows, the former White House chief of staff.
After seeing what he turned over to the committee, the Archives became aware that some of his communications were missing.
"It could be a coincidence, but within a week of the August 8 search on Mar-a-Lago, much more started coming in," one source said.
All electronic communications that fell under the Presidential Records Act were turned over.
Even though the process was moving slowly, the source told CNN that the man was cooperating.
The Mar-a-Lago search had nothing to do with the new submissions, according to a source.
The records submitted byMeadows were not classified and were not related to the Archives' efforts to get federal records from Trump.
According to CNN, Meadows is in an awkward position as he is one of Trump's designees to the Archives, and has been trying to get Trump to return documents to them.
Sources told the outlet that he visited the former president in Mar-a-Lago and talked to the Archives about documents they wanted to return.
The FBI searched the Mar-a-Lago residence of the former president last month after lengthy efforts by the Archives to get federal records from him.
Sources told CNN that Trump has been advised to cut contact with Meadows as the investigation into his actions around the Capitol riot continues.
A source told CNN that the former president has complained about him behind closed doors.
The relationship is not the same as it used to be.
