The share of Americans who are satisfied with the amount of Jeffrey Epstein-related files released so far is in the single digits, new polling shows.
Just 6 percent of Americans in a CNN survey said they’re satisfied with what the federal government has released so far in the case of Epstein, the late convicted sex offender, including 12 percent of Republicans and just 3 percent each of Democrats and independents.
Roughly two-thirds of Americans said they think the federal government is intentionally holding back Epstein-related information that should come out, compared to 16 percent who said the government is doing its best to release all the information it can.
The new poll numbers come roughly a month after the Justice Department’s mid-December deadline to release all unclassified records and documents connected to Epstein. Trump, who has been referenced in the documents, signed legislation to spur on the file release, with redactions to protect victims.
“Now 1,000,000 more pages on Epstein are found. DOJ is being forced to spend all of its time on this Democrat inspired Hoax,” Trump posted on Truth Social shortly after the December deadline, when the DOJ announced more material to come. “When do they say NO MORE, and work on Election Fraud etc.”
The DOJ earlier this month signaled that it had released less than 1 percent of its Epstein-related files, according to CNN reporting.
The CNN poll was conducted online by SSRS from Jan. 9-12, among 1,209 adults. The results have a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
