It’s a weird thing. The government is clearly trying to insinuate that Trump has important classified documents. The problem is that their behavior absolutely proves that whatever documents he actually had were unimportant. No competent government would allow national security secrets to linger unsecured while arguing with lawyers. That went on for over a year before the raid. If it was me with a military secret, they wouldn’t waste time asking “pretty please”, because they don’t want those kinds of documents in the open. Thus it’s clear that whatever Trump actually had, the security system was absolutely fine with him having.

Most of the information in those documents got declassified, but the copies of the documents that he had were printed while they were still classified. Hell, whatever is in them I'm sure you could easily find with a few Google searches.

Most reports I’ve read were fairly vague. One said “plans to invade a country,” with the country unspecified. But, the military has contingency plans for literal everything, so it could just as easily be plans to invade Ireland or Canada or Burkina Faso. They’re not saying, I suspect, because absent the knowledge that we have plans to invade every country on Earth, the general public will mentally insert some scary enemy state into that mention. But if it were plans to invade an enemy state, it would not be reasonable for the security state to allow those documents to be out in the wild where anything could happen.
