He will either damage, destroy, or steal them.
I am sure he took more than boxes of classified documents last time.
Also artifacts from the WH.

He wanted the original Declaration of Independence installed into his office recently.
The national archives had to talk him out of it.
They gave him one of the copies.
He will probably steal it when he leaves.
