It's been a minute since the classified-documents case was surreptitiously scuttled by the <checks notes> Honorable Judge Aileen Cannon — so The Atlantic must have forgotten that Trump can change the law by thinking about it, and that he did change the law by thinking that he could declassify documents by thinking that they are declassified, even later in time than the point at which that later thinking about the declassification actually had the effect of declassifying them.
We have concepts of a justice system.
Trump said he wasn’t part of the group, so unless he declassified it before it was classified when they shared it.

But the president said he wasn't involved but Waltz and Vance are.
