Nearly half of Americans believe President Donald Trump was somehow involved in Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes, a striking new poll has revealed. When asked by YouGov: “Do you think that Donald Trump was involved in crimes allegedly committed by Jeffrey Epstein?” 46 percent of respondents said yes, compared to 32 percent who said no and 23 percent remained unsure. No evidence has emerged implicating Trump in Epstein’s crimes, though the pair were friends for years. The poll’s findings, as usual, highlight a clear partisan divide—80 percent of Democrats believe Trump to be complicit compared to just 5 percent who do not. Meanwhile, 68 percent of Republicans reject the idea outright, but 11 percent of Trump voters believe the president was complicit in Epstein’s crimes and a further 21 percent are uncertain. Additionally, most Americans also disapprove of Trump’s handling of the Epstein investigation, with just 21 percent approving of his actions so far. Sixty-seven percent of Americans suspect a government cover-up of evidence in the Epstein case, while only 12 percent believe nothing has been hidden.
