Nearly 70% of Americans -- including a majority of Republicans -- think the government is hiding something about Epstein [View all]

(Yahoo News) Bipartisanship is rare in U.S. politics these days. But according to a new Yahoo/YouGov poll, there’s now at least one thing that more than two-thirds of Americans seem to agree on: that the government is “hiding” information about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The survey of 1,729 U.S. adults, which was conducted from July 24 to 28, shows that a clear consensus has formed across party lines about how the government has handled the questions surrounding Epstein’s life and death.

When respondents are told that President Trump’s Justice Department has “concluded that Epstein did not have a ‘client list’ of famous associates who engaged in wrongdoing with him,” 69% of them still say the government is “hiding information about Epstein’s client list.” That group includes a majority of Republicans (55%).
