But what was this classified material? What was the document? They don’t have that. All they have is Trump saying whatever he was holding was classified. He could have been talking out of his hat. They can’t prove that what he had was actually classified because they don’t have whatever document it was he was holding....if indeed he was actually holding a government document and not say, his monthly water bill in an envelope when he was speaking.
Former President Donald Trump has been indicted on federal charges in an investigation into his handling of classified documents, according to an indictment unsealed on Friday.
The indictment comes after more than 100 documents with classified markings were found at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in August 2022.
Trump has been charged with 37 counts: 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information; one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice; one count of withholding a document or record; one count of corruptly concealing a document or record; one count of concealing a document in a federal investigation; one count of scheme to conceal; and one count of false statements and representations.

Since there were at least 4 other people in the meeting, I presume they established the existence of the document through testimony from the others. But Trump was not charged with sharing classified information, probably because they didn’t have the actual document. Not having that document does not impact any of the charges listed in the indictment, so if you were hoping that would result in a dismissal of charges, you are setting yourself up for a disappointment.
