The answer is:

Word: withhold.

Synonym: retain.

Sentence:

The FBI withheld the data requested by the prosecutor; as a result, it retained the material and refused to provide further information.

Withhold means to refuse to give something that is due or requested. Similarly, its synonym retain signifies to keep possession of something.
