Yes. It was. And is.That taking them was not illegal
Either he illegally took classified material and refused to return it.
Or he ”declassified” it (without a single bit of evidence or witness to it) prior to leaving office (ex presidents do not have the power to declassify)….and retained it, refusing to return it. That violates the Presidential Records act.
Either way he’s violated a law.
