Depends what day it is.For some time now keeping track of the “Truth” regarding Trump and the documents has been confusing. So I’m hoping that you all who are sure you know the truth can help.
1) The Documents were planted. In this scenario the documents were still classified, but were planted by the FBI to “Get Trump” or something.

The Special Master demanded information on this claim. Trump responded by demanding the Judge quash the request from Special Master. Apparently Trump didn’t want to go on record with the claim.
Judge spares Trump from having to back up claims of planted evidence at Mar-a-Lago
Aileen Cannon, who was appointed by the former president, overruled the special master's directive to soon identify any documents allegedly planted by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago.www.nbcnews.com
2) Trump declassified the documents.
Trump claims presidents can declassify documents "even by thinking about it"
Trump's lawyers have resisted requests for information about whether records with classified markings seized from Mar-a-Lago were in fact declassified by Trump.www.cbsnews.com
Now you see the beginning of the problem. If Trump did declassify the documents as President, then they were not planted by the FBI. There was no crime because the Documents were not classified.
3) The documents were kept in a secure room with video surveillance.

Ok hold on. If the documents were declassified there is no reason to worry or even take the effort to secure them. Declassified documents are subject to public disclosure. So why lock up declassified documents?
4) All the Government had to do was ask to get the documents back.
Well what documents? According to Trump the documents were planted, declassified, and for some inexplicable reason also secured. This one also ignores the subpoena that was responded to with the claim there were no more documents that were classified.
After the indictment, Trump again claimed the documents were planted. See Truth number one again.
So I need some help. Which truth is actually true? As you can see. Each one kind of eliminates the others.
