The SM is pretty much saying they have to take a stand on if Trump declassified the documents, or he will rule they remain classified. Trump's lawyer don't want to make that claim, at least yet.

Dearie issued no rulings at the hearing. But he made clear that if Trump’s side remained silent on whether their client had at some point in his presidency declassified the documents, Dearie was likely to agree with prosecutors that the documents at the heart of the case are still classified. Trump’s legal team has argued that answering the question now could put them at a disadvantage in the face of a possible future criminal prosecution, or a future legal fight over getting seized documents returned to Trump.
