Donald Trump is in full-blown panic, as Americans demand answers on his close friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. Now, Trump is lashing out against his own supporters and lying to cover up his longtime association with this infamous sex trafficker. DNC Researcher Jacob Horowitz breaks down Trump\u2019s long relationship with Epstein, the Trump administration\u2019s lack of transparency around the files, and why the American people deserve to know the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WATCH: The Epstein Files are tearing the Trump administration apart, and the American people are fed up with Donald Trump\u2019s flip-flopping and lack of transparency. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transcript of DNC Researcher Jacob Horowitz: \u201cIt can be hard to keep track of the corrupt mess that is Trump\u2019s White House. But we are paying attention to the Epstein issue because it\u2019s something all Americans care about. It\u2019s cutting across party lines, with Democrats and Republicans alike frustrated by the lack of transparency. Remember: Trump administration officials are either running a cover-up and keeping the Epstein files hidden, or they never intended to release the files in the first place and lied about this faux transparency agenda, all to get elected. But we can\u2019t let Trump sweep this all under the rug. That\u2019s why I\u2019m asking \u2014 demanding \u2014 release the Epstein files.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

POLLING: As Trump scrambles to change the narrative, Americans overwhelmingly disapprove of his handling of the Epstein files. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rasmussen Poll<\/a>: \u201cRoughly two-thirds of every political category – 68% of Democrats, 66% of Republicans and 69% of unaffiliated voters – reject the idea that the Epstein case is closed<\/strong> and instead believe that there are dozens of powerful and wealthy offenders who need to face justice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN Poll<\/a>: \u201cAmericans are broadly dissatisfied with how much Epstein info the government has released.<\/strong> \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVery conservative Republicans and Republican-leaning independents are far more likely to be dissatisfied<\/strong> than are those who consider themselves somewhat conservative (48% vs. 40%).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quinnipiac Poll<\/a>: \u201c17 percent of voters say they approve of the way the Trump Administration is handling the Jeffrey Epstein files, while 63 percent of voters disapprove<\/strong>\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reuters<\/a>: \u201cMost Americans think President Donald Trump\u2019s administration is hiding information about accused sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein<\/strong> and give it poor marks on the issue after pledging to make public documents in the case, a Reuters\/Ipsos poll found. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c…69% of respondents thought the federal government was hiding details about Epstein\u2019s clients, compared to 6% who disagreed and about one in four who said they weren\u2019t sure.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
