The FBI is reportedly returning boxes of personal items back to President Donald Trump that were seized during the Mar-a-Lago raid, according to The Daily Wire.

“The FBI is giving the president his property back that was taken during the unlawful and illegal raids," White House Communications Director Steven Cheung told the outlet. "We are taking possession of the boxes today and loading them onto Air Force 1.”

It is not clear what items were taken, but it comes after the FBI raided the president's Florida home in 2022. The raid was in response to allegations that Trump had failed to turn over classified documents at the end of his first presidential term. The agents recovered more than 100 documents with classification markings.

The case against President Trump was dropped by special counsel Jack Smith last November.
