It's also possible that he's trying to cover up financial crimes (or maybe both).
There's evidence that Epstein had a lot of dodgy financial stuff going on; a large amount of unexplained money was discovered. Trump could have been involved in those transactions. Money laundering? Human trafficking? Trump hasn't been embarrassed by his past sexual exploits (he's actually proud of them), so unless there's incontrovertible evidence that he had assaulted minors, sexual behavior might not be what he's hiding. But if he was an active part of a human trafficking ring and/or was using Epstein's connections to launder money (Russian, maybe?), that could be a bigger problem for him.
