There is a reason the NYT is number one:
"The search warrant for Trump’s residence cited three criminal laws, all from Title 18 of the United States Code. Section 793, better known as the Espionage Act, which covers the unlawful retention of defense-related information that could harm the United States or aid a foreign adversary; Section 1519, which covers destroying or concealing documents to obstruct government investigations or administrative proceedings; and Section 2071, which covers the unlawful removal of government records. Notably, none of those laws turn on whether information was deemed to be unclassified."
Twitter user @KDbyProxy (wonderful follow btw, whip smart, especially wrt this sort of thing) caught this yesterday. Here's the relevant tweet:

This seems like a stretch.
They're going to put Trump in jail for ten years for possessing unclassified documents? That doesn't pass the smell test
Ironically I think Trump himself signed a law that would increase sentences for mishandling of government/classified documents
