National Archives has no record of them being declassified.~~~~~~
That consisted of declassified material that he declassified as president in writing.
BTW, the total number of boxes seized were not 12 but more like 40.
There is a whole process in order to declassifying documents, and Top Secret documents are not going to simply be given to any ex President.
He did not go through the process. He simply took them. National Archives found out about them, asked for them back. He gave 12 in January, they asked for the rest later. He was given a supeona, but did not comply. That is when a Judge was shown what was still in his possession and granted the Search warrant for the 12 boxes which were taken last Monday.
A total of 27 boxes were returned to the National Archive .
