The President retains his clearance and can declassify anything he wants. And did. Publicly stated.
At this point, a huge percentage of the American people do not, and will not, believe anything that's said.
If he had declassified all of it there would be a proper paper trail, and he still couldn’t take them with him because they’re the property of the U.S. Government.
He stated that he was declassifying all of it. Publicly. To the American public. And if that wasn't done, who's fault is that? Legal dragged their feet. They didn't follow through. You best tell Obama he wasn't allowed to take papers because he told a TON of pages
You don’t just tweet something saying you’re going to declassify it. There’s a process. If the “best people” in your administration don’t follow up, they’re not declassified. And there’s also a different process that Obama and every other President has followed when legally procuring Presidential records for their libraries. Trump didn’t do any of this.
This is not correct. Trump sought to declassify TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMISSIBLE certain documents pertaining to the Crossfire Hurricane investigation as contained in a binder provided to DOJ and DNI. The FBI and intelligence community raised objections to the declassification and it therefore did not occur. Additionally, Trump tweeted about declassifying the entirety of the Mueller Report but when Judge Reggie Walton made an inquiry about whether this constituted an official presidential order, Mark Meadows advised the court that it did not.
