You mean the declassified docs?

There are actual legal channels he had to go through to declassify them. If those documents exist, then he is cleared. He couldn’t just blanket declassify stuff on a whim. Jeeeesus.

No, he doesn’t. He can write a memo that states “I declassify anything I take home to Mar-A-Lago”, and it’s 100% within his power, because the president has ultimate authority when it comes to classification.
