Americans Across Party Lines Agree: Government Is Hiding Epstein Files

A measly 6% of Americans are satisfied with the number of documents the government has released regarding the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, according to a new poll from CNN and non-partisan research firm SSRS.

When broken down by political affiliation, the figures still showed limited support for the disclosure process, with 12% of Republicans surveyed, 3% of Democrats and an equal share of independents expressing approval.

Furthermore, two-thirds of respondents said they believed the Department of Justice was “intentionally” holding back information, while just 16% said the government was “making an effort to release all information possible.” The remainder claimed they had not heard enough about the case to weigh in.

The poll was conducted between Jan. 9 and Jan. 12, just shy of a month after Congress’ Dec. 19 deadline for the DOJ to release all Epstein-related records.

In a Jan. 5 court filing signed by Attorney General Pam Bondi and her deputy, Todd Blanche, said the records that have been released to the public only represented 1% of the estimated 2 million documents still under review and that “substantial work remains to be done” to comply with Congress’ bipartisan-backed Epstein Files Transparency Act.

According to the statement, the DOJ has over 400 lawyers and more than 100 specially trained document analysts assigned to review and redact the material.
