Classification status is irrelevant to prosecuting crimes under the Espionage Act.

Because this dude is just making crap up whole cloth. There are actual steps that must be taken to "declassify" documents you moron. No president can just say it and make it so. Even with that, some documents are so sensitive that even a "declassifying" standing order would not cover them. Fox News is just spreading more disinformation and malarkey to muddy the waters in favor of their God King Trump.
