Zzz. You dimwit lbs aren’t very well informed.
Lawyers generally don’t mention matters outside the scope of the matter at issue in these preliminary matters. There is no legal purpose served in mentioning, in these particular responsive papers, that the President had already declassified the purportedly “classified” papers.
And yet, the former President did address it today:

What we are seeing here is pretty much the same garbage that was going on in the months after Trump lost the 2020 election.
Trump and his lunatic lawyers like Powell and Guilianni were out there mouthing off non stop in the press about "proof" of election fraud but then whenever they'd appear before the federal judges hearing the cases, they'd suddenly go mum....knowing that there are serious consequences for telling the same lies to judges that they can tell with impunity to the press.

But calling an election unfair does not make it so." It added: “Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here."

Following President Joe Biden’s swearing in on Jan. 20, a Facebook post shared over 6,140 times has said: “Not one court has looked at the evidence and said that Biden legally won. Not one”. This is false: state and federal judges dismissed more than 50 lawsuits presented by then President...
