The whereabouts of the binder are currently unknown as it went missing during the last days of Trump’s presidency, Reuters’ source said.
If he sold it during his presidency, that would have been legal since he had the power to do that at the time.
If he sold it after, he should be locked up since he no longer had the authority to pass on that info.
Most likely I think he just took the documents and burned it since it contains information that the U.S. and “(NATO) allies collected on Russia’s alleged election interference in 2016, when Trump beat his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton for the presidency, among other documents.”
Even if he sold it during his presidency, that wouldn’t make the money his. It would need to be documented and delivered through the proper channels, with receipts and confirmations. There is no way it would be legal for a president to sell classsified information and individually profit from it.
