There are several laws governing the handling of classified information and presidential records, and these come with both criminal and civil penalties.
In fact, Mr Trump increased the penalties for the removal of classified documents or materials while he was in office and it is now punishable by up to five years in prison.
The unsealed search warrant shows prosecutors are investigating three potential crimes. These are:
violations of the Espionage Act
obstruction of justice
the criminal handling of government records
None of the three criminal laws in question depend on whether the files are declassified. This means it is uncertain whether Mr Trump's argument would hold up in court.
The former president has not been charged with wrongdoing, and it remains unclear whether criminal charges will be brought as a result of the investigation.

Remember Trump/s secret meeting with Putin. He didn't use a US Translator. It was a total giveaway as who is allegiances he honored. Now he has been found stashing TOP Secret Files. I believe he was trading USA secrets to ingratiate himself to Putin.
