When it involves the President who can declassify documents at will, who has the burden to prove the documents remain classified. Perhaps the greatest example a President has regarding the power to declassify is when, in conversation with a foreign head of state, the President can reveal classified information at will on the fly in a conversation. He doesn't need to declasify the information in advance or inform anyone beforehand. It's his exclusive prerogative. This is what makes the Mar-a-Lago accusations so stupid. DoJ knows full well they do not have a leg to stand on. I think DoJ is only doing it for public propaganda and playing to their base.
