A majority of voters don't believe what the government has to say about the Jeffrey Epstein case in what could prove bad news for President Donald Trump as he tries to move past the scandal, a recent poll found.
Overall, 56% of voters do not believe the FBI's conclusions about the late billionaire's death, according to a Rasmussen Reports survey. The bureau concluded that Epstein likely did kill himself, despite pervasive suspicions of foul play.
Just 21% believed the official FBI/Department of Justice narrative. A further 23% were unsure. The survey questioned 1,164 likely U.S. voters from July 8-10.
"This is brutal and the issue isn't going to go away," posted Rasmussen Reports' Mark Mitchell.
Trump, for his part, has repeatedly expressed support for the way Attorney General Pam Bondi's handling of the case. Bondi, however, has faced mounting calls for her resignation, especially in light of her orchestration of a botched "Phase 1" release of Epstein information to a group of influencers.
I can accept that there may be reasons why the Epstein files are not good to release. (I think Biden’s people removed stuff that hurt Democrats and added fiction to make Republicans look bad for the 2026 midterms.)
But I think it is indisputable that this whole thing was handled very badly. And for them to still insist that it was handled well it really depressing. Get a clue. Many MAGA supporters feel betrayed. You might want to do something about that.
Not surprised there’s a portion of the public that believes alien shapeshifters run the government
There is much truth in what you posted.
But the problem is Blondi mishandled this in such a way as she ended up looking like Whoreraldo Rivera after he opened Al Capone's safe.
haha
trusting our government?
where did you ever dream that idea up?

Majority of people don’t believe polls.
I think half that 21% posts here.
That's because there is very strong evidence that so-called Conservatives shapeshift into globalist leftists behind closed doors once they are elected.
Why do we need a list when Bondi told us there’s 1000s of hours of raunchy videos of Pedophiles abusing children?
You are right. The surface issue is Epstein. The issue driving the outrage is trust. It likely could have been avoided or at least been somewhat less disastrous had Bondi been more adept at communicating.
I said a few days ago to some here promoting the “Move on” narrative.
I said let’s see what the polls have to say. The first polls are beginning to drop
and it isn’t good for Bondi and Trump. Speaker Johnson must have seen some
polls, because he is now saying” release the files”..
The same thing many of us have been saying here for a week.
Bondi really screwed things up.
The alien shapeshifter folks are the rational ones.
Try debating with the Flat Earthers sometimes.
(I have actually done it on Reddit—it was kinda amusing.)
“The same thing many of us have been saying here for a week”...
and got called names and attacked for it.
the vault was empty.
this case has never been empty. it is simply beyond trump’s real power to address.
Folks can get their door kicked down with a no-knock warrant for patronizing a kiddie porn site.
But if you’re actually on video raping a kid, the FBI is not interested.
Got it.
The issue has everything to do with Deep State corruption and cleaning it up, something Trump was elected to do.
Only someone stupid or dishonest doesn’t recognize dozens of women were raped by powerful men that Epstein and Gisselle Maxwell trafficked women for.
