Trump wasn’t handing them over. He had tons of opportunities to do so. He wasn’t complying.NARA would not have moved them to Chicago except via Obama's orders. And NARA and the media loyal to Democrats would not be emphasizing how 'different' the circumstances were in that case if it wasn't trying to make what Trump did look suspicious, illegal, onerous.
The point is that yes, Trump did have some documents--presumably unclassified documents--that the National Archives wanted and those were promptly returned to NARA once requested. NARA had to know he had them or they wouldn't have known what to ask him for. He wasn't being sneaky or devious.
