Poll: Only 25% of Americans think Trump has 'followed through' on his promise to release the Epstein files [View all]

After months of opposition, President Trump finally signed a law last week requiring the Justice Department to release all of its files related to the investigation of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

But even then, just a quarter of Americans (25%) think the president has “followed through” on his promise to make the Epstein files public, according to a new Yahoo/YouGov poll. Nearly twice as many say he has not (48%), and the rest (27%) are unsure.

The new survey of 1,684 U.S. adults was conducted from Nov. 21 to Nov. 24 — immediately after Congress passed and Trump signed the bipartisan measure known as the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which compels the Justice Department to “publish (in a searchable and downloadable format) all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials” related to Epstein within 30 days.

The bill itself, which only one lawmaker opposed, is remarkably popular with the public: A full 84% of Americans approve of it, while just 3% disapprove. Reflecting the measure’s near-unanimous support on Capitol Hill, Republicans approve almost as often (83%) as independents (87%) and Democrats (90%).
