| − | :In 2006, Epstein recruited a 15 year old girl, Virginia Guiffre, an employee of [[Mar-a-Lago]], into the child sex trade. Trump immediately barred Epstein from Mar-a-Lago, and watched as the [[DOJ]] covered up the scandal. Investigations exposed the [[Clinton]] connection. I believe the scandal so outraged Donald J. Trump, especially where his name was involved, he believed to only way to rectify the matter and bring justice for victims was by running for president himself to expose the corruption in the federal government. It may not have been his only motive to run in 2016, but fair-minded historians need to consider this matter carefully. And of course, if we can get some input from Trump himself in memoirs or personal interviews, that would help. It was only by Trump pushing the issue in the 2016 election (which the Democrats & [[MSM]] tried to counter and neutralize with the ''Hollywood Access'' video which did not include children) that the story ever came to light.
