Is it true what one interviewed man said “The President is empowered to declare which documents will be classified or not when he gets them.?” Or is it some categories?

Trump should just say:

“As president, I could have declassified anything I wanted and needn’t have told anyone since I was the chief executive of the executive branch and commander in chief of the military and, by extension, the national security establishment that can classify information.

It is literally impossible for a president to mishandle classified information since the ability to classify it and manage its handling is vested in me.

The Justice Department and FBI should know that unless they were sick the day they taught law at law school.”
