Poll Finds Majority Americans Disapprove Trump Handling Epstein Files

Recent polls indicate significant public skepticism and disapproval regarding President Donald Trump's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, with 58 percent of Americans disapproving of his approach. While 46 percent of respondents believe Trump was involved in Epstein's alleged crimes, a majority across political affiliations express interest in the release of all Epstein-related files, with about 86 to 90 percent supporting full disclosure. Even among Republicans and self-identified MAGA supporters, approval for Trump's management of the scandal is notably lower than usual, with many questioning his transparency and motives. The controversy intensified after Trump backtracked on his earlier promise to release all files and urged supporters to move on, fueling suspicions of a cover-up. Renewed scrutiny has been driven by demands for the release of government documents and Freedom of Information Act requests aimed at revealing connections between Epstein and powerful individuals, including Trump. The ongoing public attention reflects widespread curiosity and concern over the extent of Trump's ties to Epstein and the handling of the related investigations.
