GOP presidential race grows - Jeffrey Epstein blackmail report - EU penalizes Facebook

1. Summary
   Conservative Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) has formally entered the GOP's presidential race. Speaking before a crowd of about 2,000 people, Scott noted his personal background as a black man who grew up in poverty and later found success. He described himself as the candidate "the far-left fears most," and said, "The truth of my life disrupts their lies!"
   
   The growing primary field includes another prominent South Carolina politician: the state's former governor, Nikki Haley. An NBC News poll in April found both candidates polling at about 3%, far behind former President Donald Trump's commanding lead. South Carolina's early primary election date is considered influential. Despite the polls, Scott's campaign is starting off with $20 million, more than most other candidates.
   
   Pundits frequently say a crowded primary field will benefit Trump, as it did in 2016. But Hill contributor Keith Naughton argues the primary race will likely shrink to a contest between Trump and Ron DeSantis, compared to 2016, when Trump had two major rivals (Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio).
