I would imagine the prosecutors didn't go that way because it would be harder to prove, but it's not exactly a secret that Mar-a-Lago has been awash with foreign agents:

"Aid and comfort" to the nation's enemies could very well include furnishing them with sensitive national defense documents. Arguably. Regardless of which part of the Constitution or U.S. code you want to refer, the point is that his actions with these documents (even the actions described in the tape transcripts alone) are potentially ruinous for our intelligence apparatus and that of our allies. Frankly, it should be a hanging offense.
Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were executed for basically this, though the charge there was espionage.
