That is not just a few boxes. Some of them may belong to the family, but, there should be no co-mingling of government papers and that belonging to the family.
A grand jury is the voice of the people. There is nothing nefarious about the decisions of a grand jury. The FBI and DOJ are above reproach given the thoroughness in seeking the input of a Grand Jury. This is outrageous that Trump is continuing to cry boo-hoo they took all the papers I was in the process of selling.

About two dozen boxes of presidential records (click here) stored in then-president Donald Trump’s White House residence were not returned to the National Archives and Records Administration in the final days of his term even after Archives officials were told by a Trump lawyer that the documents should be returned, according to an email from the top lawyer at the record-keeping agency.
“It is also our understanding that roughly two dozen boxes of original presidential records were kept in the Residence of the White House over the course of President Trump’s last year in office and have not been transferred to NARA, despite a determination by Pat Cipollone in the final days of the administration that they need to be,” wrote Gary Stern, the agency’s chief counsel, in an email to Trump lawyers in May 2021, according to a copy reviewed by The Washington Post.
Cipollone was the former White House counsel designated by Trump as one of his representatives to the Archives. A spokeswoman for Cipollone declined to comment Wednesday....

Trump has no right to those records. The records belong to the people of the USA. The question is not what the FBI did, but, why was it necessary AND what was Trump planning to use the documents for, especially considering they were classified and unable to displayed anywhere. Were they the type of documents that would go into a presidential library that Trump has yet to begin to build?
Those records don't belong to him. Were there copies and what was done with the copies? The people have a right to know these things.
