But he has not been charged with any of this material.
They are saying that after Biden took office he reclassified the documents.
Where does the government say this?
How would Biden know what documents Trump had a Mar a Lago? How would this reclassification take place?
By the government's argument they could say anyone is in possession of something Biden says is now classified and arrest you for it. It doesn't work that way.
It doesn't work that way and they are not making argument.
Trump is not charged with mere possession. He is charged with willfully retaining these documents. That means the government asked for them back....in fact, they subpoenaed these documents. The government is saying Trump hid these documents from his lawyers to avoid turning them over.
There is evidence he declassified Crossfire Hurricane material
