It does not appear the feds are willing to return these items. The Court or a Special Master should order them returned.
The search warrant in the Mar-a-Lago Raid was so overly broad that it allowed the feds to rummage through vast areas of the complex and to seize almost anything in sight.
That reading of the warrant is confirmed now that the Judge has unsealed the Investigative Team Status Review And Detailed Inventory that the Court had required under its prior Preliminary Order.
The investigative team status report as of August 30, reflects, among other things:
As of the date of this filing, the investigative team has completed a preliminary review of the materials seized pursuant to the search warrant executed on August 8, 2022, with the exception of any potentially attorney-client privileged materials that, pursuant to the filter protocols set forth in the search warrant affidavit, have not been provided to the investigative team. The documents bearing classification markings that were seized during the execution of the search warrant have been segregated from the remainder of the seized materials and are being separately stored in accordance with the appropriate procedures governing the security of classified material….
That said, the government can confirm for the Court that the investigative team has already examined every item seized ( other than materials that remain subject to the filter protocols), even as its investigation and further review continues….
In other words, the feds reviewed everything seized, with potentially privileged documents reviewed by a Privilege Review Team.
Attached to the report was the detailed inventory required to be filed per court order. It’s not very detailed, it doesn’t tell us what any of it was about. For example, were the classified document pertaining the Crossfire Hurricane, the feds investigation of the Trump campaign, which Trump previously declassified just before leaving office.
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby direct the following:
Section 1. Declassification and Release. At my request, on December 30, 2020, the Department of Justice provided the White House with a binder of materials related to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation. Portions of the documents in the binder have remained classified and have not been released to the Congress or the public. I requested the documents so that a declassification review could be performed and so I could determine to what extent materials in the binder should be released in unclassified form.
I determined that the materials in that binder should be declassified to the maximum extent possible. In response, and as part of the iterative process of the declassification review, under a cover letter dated January 17, 2021, the Federal Bureau of Investigation noted its continuing objection to any further declassification of the materials in the binder and also, on the basis of a review that included Intelligence Community equities, identified the passages that it believed it was most crucial to keep from public disclosure. I have determined to accept the redactions proposed for continued classification by the FBI in that January 17 submission.
I hereby declassify the remaining materials in the binder. This is my final determination under the declassification review and I have directed the Attorney General to implement the redactions proposed in the FBI’s January 17 submission and return to the White House an appropriately redacted copy….
Here are some of the non-classified items seized as described on the inventory sheet [repeat descriptions mean multiple such items were located in different boxes]:

Based on this and prior filings, it does not appear the feds are willing to return these items. The Court or a Special Master should order them returned.
We will have a new post when the Judge rules on the motion to appoint a special master.
Melania’s Pantys?
OH NOES NOT THE DREADED MAGAZINE ARTICLES LOL seriously they raided this man’s house for CLOTHING and MAGAZINE COVERS..seriously..and its hilarious seeing the commie media scream about empty folders like it means something. Perhaps they need to put their two brain cells together and think for just ONE moment, that maybe when the feds came to the house repeatedly during the past year, they removed documents and that is why the folders are EMPTY, but nah, that takes too much intelligence for then to decipher
and by special request a pair of panties from the hamper
which were immediately fedex’ed to Delaware
It was MAGA shirts and hats...thank the lord the FIB got those deplorable extremist hats and t-shirts before they got out on the street. /s
This list has to be a joke, right?
those MAGA shirts and hats prove that Trump is a violent extremist
i hope you paid cash for your MAGA hat
A neutral court would give the DOJ 12 hours to get everything back to Mar a Lago or lose their legal protection.
Did the Feds take the clothes so they could strew them on the floor and give them a golden shower before returning them? Enquiring minds want to know. And no, that scenario is not unbelievable in this world.
A display frame of tokens ...basket ball....etc.
I guess could be confused with the "nuclear football"
“ Through contacts, I learned about the slicing up of Melania’s gowns labels. $500,000 damage”
I hope that this is not true.
FBI Agent: “Hey guys! Look what I scored at Trumps place!”................
Did the Feds return Melania’s dirty underwear or keep it as “war souvenirs”?
Article of clothing appears quite a few times, how many pairs of melanias panties did these pervert thugs take? And are they still wearing them over their faces?
How can there be any debate that this is all wrong?
Magazine articles, books, personal items from 1995?
Why are there not riots against this?
We have lost our gonads and our minds.
So now that there’s a sympathetic Trump Judge handling the case the Truth begins to unfold.
So typical of a corrupt agency.
We have a criminal government and the GOP won’t do anything real to stop it.
Did they find Donald Trump Jr.’s laptop?
Think of all the classified information contained on a T shirt.
