.... those same boxes of top secret docs could have been taken to trDUMP Tower NY or trDUMP golf course in NJ. Shouldn't those properties be thoroughly swept for illegally confiscated and stored top secret docs too ?

Laws do not apply to TFG. TFG is above all laws and if TFG wants something, he will take/steal it

Trumps disdain and disregard for the presidential record-keeping system he was legally bound to adhere to is well-documented. And while advisers repeatedly warned him about needing to follow the Presidential Records Act early in his presidency, his chaotic handling of the documents prevailed.......
Any documents that made it to the White House residence were these boxes Trump carried around with him, explained Stephanie Grisham, a former senior White House staffer. Usually the body man would have brought them upstairs for Trump or someone from the outer-Oval at the end of the day. They would get handed off to the residence and just disappear.
Boxes of documents even came with Trump on foreign travel, following him to hotel rooms around the world including countries considered foreign adversaries of the United States.
There was no rhyme or reason it was classified documents on top of newspapers on top of papers people printed out of things they wanted him to read. The boxes were never organized, Grisham said. Hed want to get work done on long trips so hed just rummage through the boxes. That was our filing system.
Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in refusing to turn over documents, at times suggesting that the records are his and should not be given back to the Archives.
