As speculation continues to mount over what classified documents former President Donald Trump and why he chose to remove them from the White House at the end of his tenure, Bloomberg contributor and Trump biographer Timothy L. O'Brien writes that Trump and his allies' claims of political persecution have drowned out the more pressing questions as to why the FBI conducted the raid in the first place.

The first reason, O'Brien said, could simply be due to Trump's immature need to hold on to the exclusivity and privileged nature of the presidency he now no longer holds.
But Trump might also have "deeply damaging and troubling" reasons for retaining the material, he said.
"Unfettered greed has motivated Trump his entire life. He didnt get into the casino business to beautify Atlantic City," O'Brien wrote. "He didnt propose a mega-development on Manhattans West Side because it would have made New York more livable. He didnt start Trump University to educate students, and he didnt host 'The Apprentice' to tutor entrepreneurs. He didnt originally run for president to revitalize democracy. Money, money, money."
