Former US President Donald Trump said Thursday, in an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt, that

the nation would face "major problems," "something like you may have never seen before

," if he is charged with declassifying documents after leaving The charge.

Hewitt suggested that some outlets might say that Trump is trying to provoke violence with that statement.

“How would you react to what will inevitably happen?” she asked.

'This is not incitement.

I'm just expressing my opinion,' said the Republican leader. 

Either way, he said, he doesn't think people will support an accusation against him, because everyone knows he's "totally innocent."

In his defense, the former president added:

“I have the absolute right to declassify, absolute.

A president has that absolute right, and a lot of people don't even dispute it anymore." 

However, the Presidential Records Act stipulates that all material of official interest, including photos and correspondence documents, must be preserved and transferred to the National Archives and Records Administration after the end of the president's term.

On the other hand, Trump reiterated his intention to participate in the next presidential elections.

"Even if something like that (the indictment) happened, I wouldn't be barred from running," he said.

In January, 15 boxes of classified documents were found at his residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.

Trump called the situation an "ordinary and routine process to ensure the preservation of his legacy."

A few months later, in August, FBI agents searched his mansion again.

They found 11 sets of classified documents, including some marked top secret and that could only be kept in special government facilities.

According to US government court records, the FBI has recovered more than 300 classified documents there so far this year.
