And after the government went through Mar a Lago in June, Trump's attorney certified that all classified material was returned to the government and there was no more classified material at Mar a Lago. That turned out to be a lie as several boxes of classified material was removed from Mar a Lago this past week. The DOJ recently learned that classified material was still at Mar a Lago and there was also video surveillance of people going in and out of the storage room that Trump was told to put a lock on. This is why such drastic action was taken.There were real documents there, Trump let the government go through whatever they wanted. Then they asked him if he would please put a lock on the room, he told them he would and did. Now this month they came back, broke the lock, and took the boxes. If they wanted more documents they should have asked instead of making a show of force.
The warrant shows that documents classified/TS/SCI were removed from Mar a Lago. These types of documents are meant to be viewed in a secure government facility and are not to be removed from such a facility.
The documents found in Trump's possession were still marked classified which shows without doubt that Trump didn't declassify them prior to leaving office. If he had, the original classification designation would have been marked through and the word declassified would have been stamped on it along with the date it was declassified and the individual or agency who declassified it. There would also be a record of each of these declassified documents in a database.
This would be the case even if the President decided to unilaterally declassify the documents.
