Every US president has done this. It's called "presidential archives" for the purpose of writing memoires.

NARA handles all docs as required by law, not former presidents. This talking point has been repeated over the last few weeks and has been debunked.

> Presidential libraries are managed by NARA, and the documents therein belong to the agency, which also manages related public records requests.

You are talking about national library archive stuff, not something they brought home. Or do you have source about former presidents with classified docs at home for writing memories? I don't.
Also non-presidents: Hillary having an entire email server with classified information on it.
AFAIK, those informations where classified later. Anyway, Hillary did wrong but was still doing her job, Trump wasn't.
