Not only that. It's very possible, and this doesn't mean he is not responsible, that he assumed after the documents were viewed for whatever reason, that someone in his staff would call the National Archives and have them pick them up. The fact that the President wasn't aware that these documents had not been returned and that he's honest enough to bring it to everyone's attention.

That is remarkable because the President has the right to view these documents.

He could have told his lawyer to bring them to the White House. At that point he could notify the National Archives to come and pick them up. There would been no mishandling of classified documents.
