I don’t think this matters. The overarching defense is that this is a normally civil matter post departure from office that the DOJ decided to criminalize.

I think Smith could not care less about this. I think his main focus in this trial is obstruction. He will say Trump knowingly attempted to hide boxes from his own attorneys thereby forcing his attorneys to lie to federal Investigators. A lot of the case will center around the activities of Walt Nauta as well and the movement of boxes that may have contained classified documents.

The presence of classified documents that the prosecution claims that Trump was not entitled to may be secondary in this case. The NARA stuff is traditionally civil in nature. It will be interesting to see how Trump's attorneys will end up pursuing this and linking it all up. This could be an OJ type of strategy like Scheck pursued. Indict the government's process and call into question the chain of evidence. If the items were not put back exactly as found, how would you be able to trust the digitized copies that the government will present?
