18a U.S. Code 6: Procedure for cases involving classified information.

There is a law in place that can be used during trials to handle the issue of classified documents.

The court can authorize a (substitution) for such classified information of a statement admitting relevant facts the specific classified information would tend to prove.

I still have more to read and learn. But the bottom line is, Being these are classified documents does not prevent Trump from being put on trial for said classified documents. They can have a trial and protect the classified documents.

In a trial it does matter the level of classification of documents. There are some things so secret you can't risk having them exposed. I imagine there may be some classified documents they could use at trial that were found in Trumps resort. It's complicated.

Garland has a tough job.
