Who in the US government has the power to declassify a document?

The President does, among many others.

But the power to declassify a document isn't the same as declassifying a document. President Trump had the power to declassify every single government document when he held office. It's rather obvious that he did not declassify every single government document. The set of documents the President has the power to declassify (all of them) is not the same as the set of documents that the President has declassified (not all of them).

So his claim that he declassified every single government document brought to Mar-a-Lago, despite giving absolutely no external sign or direction or indication to any other person that he had done so, is a rather specious assertion.
