We've read from many people who have worked with/for him that he loves paper (and souvenirs).
And he'd probably not trust anyone to convert it to electronic media and not keep the originals for themselves. (my guess)
He's an old school crook.

Don't you just take photos of intelligence docs, store them on a microchip and swallow it on your way out of the building? Or hide it in your heel or your lucky rabbit's foot keychain?

Or just store all that shit on the cloud and delete it from your device before anyone is the wiser?

Does it matter that former President Trump states that he de-classified the materials found at Mar-A-Lago?
No.
Section 793(d) is not restricted to classified materials. Rather, it covers any document “relating to the national defense” that contains information that the possessor has reason to believe would be detrimental to the United States if made public. Here, the search warrant return states that documents seized from Mar-A-Lago include “classified/TS/SCI documents” (meaning Top Secret or Secure Compartmentalized Information), “Top Secret Documents,” “Secret Documents,” and “Confidential Documents.”

Even if former President Trump de-classified these documents before his term ended, the information contained in those documents would still fall squarely within Section 793(d).

Maybe it was in the search warrant. If not, he's probably making shit up. The
guy is a non-stop carousel of lies lies and more lies. Mentally ill X 1,000. And
half the country wants to give him back the nuke codes.

drag on for a decade. He'll be a cheese dribble face by then.

He needs to indicted on like two dozen things and they need to move fast.

Absolutely, but having to retain attorneys (and the very worst ones) on multiple fronts can hopefully facilitate his convictions as well.

Donald Trump has hired a prominent Atlanta criminal defense attorney known for defending famous rappers to represent him in matters related to the special grand jury that's investigating whether the former president illegally tried to interfere with the 2020 election in Georgia. Drew Findling's clients have included Cardi B, Migos and Gucci Mane, as well as comedian Katt Williams. His Twitter bio includes the hashtag #BillionDollarLawyer and his Instagram feed is filled with photos of him posing with his well-known clients.
