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.
