Was Trump planning to flee the country and bring classified documents to use as barter?

Trump's seized passports could be a problem for him, legal experts say

In a court filing Tuesday night, federal prosecutors said the passports were in a desk drawer that also held classified documents and are "relevant evidence."

The article doesn't actually mention what I've suggested in the title above, but I wonder if that same thought springs into anyone else's mind when they read that "the passports were in a desk drawer that also held classified documents." One can easily imagine Trump gathering things to take with him and storing them together in a drawer so that he can quickly grab them if he's in a hurry.

3. i dont believe any of them was valid, so not rly.

2 were expired, and the 3rd expired on 1/20/20.
to have a plan to flee would require him to believe he'd ever be caught, so nope.
