Closing Of Epstein Investigation Unpopular With Voters<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

On Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump ordered his Attorney General Pam Bondi to release files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation<\/strong>, including\u00a0Grand Jury testimony<\/a>, for which a judge’s approval is necessary, however.<\/p>\n

The move came after more than a week of controversy around the topic and Trump trying to deflect the uproar that would just not die down. Pressure mounted yesterday after the Wall Street Journal published a previously unreleased letter by Trump on the occasion of Epstein’s 50th birthday, including the drawing of a naked woman, whicvh Trump has said is fake and is now suing for defamation.<\/p>\n

Despite campaign promises by Trump to release certain files pertaining to the investigation into deceases society figure and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein,\u00a0his administration\u00a0<\/a>in early July declared that these documents, a client list specifically, did not exist and that it believed that Epstein had taken his own life in prison.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As Statista’s Katharina Buchholz reports, <\/a>the announcement alienated Trump’s base which for years has been fed a narrative around an Epstein conspiracy<\/strong>, including by Trump and people now in his administration.<\/p>\n

The conspiracy claims that documents implicating prominent figures in sex crimes have been held back for years and that Epstein was murdered as a cover-up.<\/p>\n

Attorney General Pam Bondi had as recently as February referred to the list as existing,<\/strong> while Trump confidant Elon Musk in June tweeted that Trump was implicated in the files.<\/p>\n

In July,\u00a0only 17 percent of U.S. voters<\/a>\u00a0approved of the handling of the Epstein files<\/strong>, the lowest among eight surveyed issues including immigration, trade, the economy, the Russia-Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas conflict.<\/p>\n
