DENVER — The search warrant related to the raid of former President Donald Trump's Florida home revealed the FBI confiscated 11 sets of classified documents. However, Trump's team claims they were declassified documents.Number one, it was all declassified. Number two, they didn’t need to “seize” anything. They could have had it anytime they wanted without playing politics and breaking into Mar-a-Lago. It was in secured storage, with an additional lock put on as per their request.

He said declassification essentially means a previously confidential document can be accessed by the public. “The general rule is the president has the authority to declassify material. However, there are some exceptions to that," Dunn said. “First, that authority only lasts while the person is actually president. Second, another president can reverse that decision. And then there's also another category of material that cannot be declassified, and that's anything related to nuclear power, nuclear weapons, and those go back to Atomic Energy Acts from the late 40s and 50s.

ColetteBordelon He can't just magically declassify the docs. There are procedures and for someone with a 3rd grade reading level and the attention span of a chihuahua, he wouldn't know this.

ColetteBordelon Hummm… the perks of being a US President just don’t seem to be all that great anymore. Remind me, why do past order former presidents have Presidential libraries ? To keep their PRESIDENTIAL things and papers …

ColetteBordelon Disgraced, twice impeached former president trump will be spending his remaining summers at Club Fed!

ColetteBordelon TFG is a straight up TRAITOR to the U.S.A!

ColetteBordelon Why are you not pointing out that he always lies? He didn’t make that claim about the first 15 boxes. There’s a process to declassify and even if he had given an order like that there has to be a record of that order. Where is it? Talk to legal experts. Quit being stenographers

ColetteBordelon This same bullshit has been going on for six years and the media still pretends like 'the walls are closing in on Trump.' The funny thing is a lot of people actually believe it.

ColetteBordelon Declassification would have to be done and completed for each individual document before noon on 1/2/2021. No indication Trump made sure that was done for these docs. A verbal statement is not enough.
