There are also direct connections between some of these women and the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Clinton Foundation\" href=\"http:\/\/www.clintonfoundation.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"homepage\">Clinton Foundation<\/a> and Democratic organizations. There is also the fact that Donald Trump has been in the public eye for at least thirty years, and this is the first time we have heard any of this.
