The documents seized by the FBI from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort have already been declassified under the president’s “inherent constitutional power,” according to Mike Davis, a former clerk for Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch.

“[President Trump] has the constitutional authority to declassify anything he wants,” Davis said in an Aug. 12 interview with NTD. “And so, when he sent boxes out of the White House, he declassified them.”
