Most Americans think Trump administration is covering up evidence in Epstein case, new poll finds
Most Americans want all Epstein case documents released, poll reveals
- A recent poll indicates that 67 percent of Americans believe the government is concealing evidence related to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
- Epstein, who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal charges, was confirmed by the Justice Department and FBI to have died by suicide, with their memo stating there was no client list or credible evidence of blackmail.
- The poll also found that 79 percent of respondents believe the government should release all documents pertaining to the federal Epstein case.
- The federal memo sparked backlash, particularly from Trump's base, as Attorney General Pam Bondi had previously suggested the existence of an Epstein client list.
- House Republicans blocked a procedural motion by Democrats that would have allowed a vote on releasing the Epstein files, while Trump dismissed questions about the case and denied his name appeared in any documents.
