>> For our part, we cannot discern why Plaintiff would have an
individual interest in or need for any of the one-hundred documents with classification markings. Classified documents are
marked to show they are classified, for instance, with their classification level. Classified National Security Information, Exec. Order
No. 13,526, § 1.6, 3 C.F.R. 298, 301 (2009 Comp.), reprinted in 50
U.S.C. § 3161 app. at 290–301. They are “owned by, produced by
or for, or . . . under the control of the United States Government.”
Id. § 1.1. And they include information the “unauthorized disclosure [of which] could reasonably be expected to cause identifiable
or describable damage to the national security.” Id. § 1.4. For this
reason, a person may have access to classified information only if,
among other requirements, he “has a need-to-know the information.” Id. § 4.1(a)(3). This requirement pertains equally to former Presidents, unless the current administration, in its discretion,
chooses to waive that requirement. Id. § 4.4(3).

Plaintiff has not even attempted to show that he has a need
to know the information contained in the classified documents.
Nor has he established that the current administration has waived
that requirement for these documents. And even if he had, that, in
and of itself, would not explain why Plaintiff has an individual interest in the classified documents.

Just remember that whatever they can do to Trump will become standard operating procedure for all of US.

They are presidential records and he has by law access or he declassified them and they are personal records. Since they were in his possession under the PRA they are one or the other.

The 11 circuit ignored the law and this will go to the USSC next.
