Poll Shows Widespread Disapproval and Suspicion of Trump's Handling of Epstein Files

Poll Shows Widespread Disapproval and Suspicion of Trump's Handling of Epstein Files

Yahooa day ago
Americans are overwhelmingly skeptical of Donald Trump's handling of information related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. In a new UMass Amherst national poll, 70 percent of respondents said Trump is not handling the Epstein case well, while only 18 percent said he is.
Among respondents who were aware of Epstein, the deceased billionaire and convicted sex offender, 63 percent agreed that the Trump administration 'is hiding important information' about the case. Of those who said the administration is hiding information, a staggering 81 percent blamed Trump for it. Others in Trump's orbit also received blame, including Attorney General Pam Bondi (59 percent), FBI Director Kash Patel (49 percent), and House Speaker Mike Johnson (47 percent). Just 16 percent blamed Democrats in Congress.
The president's overall approval rating also took a dive to 38 percent, down six points since April.
This new data seems to back up reports that Trump has lost significant ground with his MAGA base over the Epstein issue. He came to power in part because his followers believed he would root out corruption and the deep state. But as news continues to break about his years-long friendship with Epstein amid reports that Trump is named multiple times in the files, the president's credibility is fading. Fifty-nine percent of poll respondents aware of Epstein said they believe he and Trump were 'once good friends.'
Trump isn't helping himself either. He complained last week that Epstein 'stole' one of his victims from her job at Trump's Mar-a-Lago property. And the Bureau of Prisons under Trump recently transferred Epstein's longtime partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, to a lower-security facility after she met with Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche. Her move to a less strict prison has drawn scrutiny, considering Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking.
When asked about what Maxwell and Blanche discussed, Trump said he thought Blanche 'just wants to make sure that innocent people aren't hurt' in case the Epstein documents are released. The administration, seeking to quell discontent and citing 'abundant public interest,' has asked two judges to release grand jury testimony from hearings to indict of Maxwell and Epstein on sex trafficking charges. But the administration is still facing pressure to release other documents the Justice Department possesses related to the case.
Despite the administration's claims that no list of Epstein clients exists, 70 percent of poll respondents said they believe there is such a list. Attorney General Pam Bondi released a memo last month announcing that following an 'exhaustive review,' DOJ officials decided there was not evidence of an 'incriminating 'client list.'' That's despite Bondi herself saying in February that the list was 'sitting on my desk right now to review' when asked about it on Fox News.
Trump, growing frustrated with his supporters criticizing him over Epstein, lashed out in a post on Truth Social last month: '[Democrats'] new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this 'bullshit,' hook, line, and sinker… Let those weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work,' he wrote. 'Don't even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don't want their support anymore.'
Tatishe Nteta, director of the UMass Poll, tells Rolling Stone, 'What was once a discussion held on the fringes of American politics has in recent weeks become center stage, with stories concerning Epstein garnering immense coverage in newspapers and cable news programs. Americans have been paying attention as a whopping 96 percent of Americans have read, seen, or heard something about Jeffrey Epstein.'
He adds, 'Given the widespread belief that President Trump has mishandled the release of information in this case and that the Trump administration is hiding information pertaining to the Epstein case, this controversy has the potential to do untold damage to the MAGA movement and a Republican Party already facing an uphill battle in the 2025 and 2026 midterm elections.'
A Republican strategist familiar with Trump's political operation told NBC News last week that the Epstein issue could harm Republicans at the polls in 2026. 'This is a major problem and could hurt turnout in the midterms,' the strategist said. 'It signals betrayal to those who believed the president would expose the deep state. His team made promises, then doubled down.'
'For the base that believes the deep state is real and that Epstein was part of it, this feels like the ultimate knife in the back,' the strategist added.

‘We are at war': Democrats reach breaking point over Republican threats in political map arms race

Democrats have spent years issuing warnings over Republican threats to redraw the political maps that could determine the balance of power for years to come. Now, they're prepared for 'war.' After protracted legal battles to unwind Donald Trump's executive actions and unsuccessful attempts to derail the president's agenda in Congress, Democrats appear to have reached a breaking point and are ready to do some map-making of their own, reluctantly preparing to fight fire with fire. They have repeatedly stressed that the GOP's gerrymandering imperils American democracy. But Democratic officials across the country are now embracing the idea, reasoning that years-long legal challenges and public pressure over illegal voter suppression are no longer enough to keep up with the GOP's power trip. 'All's fair in love and war,' New York Governor Kathy Hochul said Monday as she signaled efforts to draw up new maps in her state 'as soon as possible.' 'This is a war. We are at war,' she added. 'And that's why the gloves are off, and I say, 'Bring it on.'' Trump is looking to avoid a repeat of his first term, when Democrats flipped the House at the midpoint and largely stalled his agenda from advancing through Congress. This time around he wants Republican-led states to redraw their congressional districts to ensure the GOP remains in power in 2026. Last month, the president commanded Texas Republicans to do a 'simple redrawing' of the state's congressional maps, the heavily-contested boundaries that establish districts for each member of the House of Representatives. Texas Governor Greg Abbott had summoned state lawmakers to the state capitol in Austin for an emergency session to do just that. Days after Trump's demands, Texas Republicans put together a map that gives them five more seats in the House. On August 1, the Texas House redistricting committee held the only public hearing on the proposal. Republicans voted it out of committee the next morning on a party-line vote, setting up a quick vote in the full state House of Representatives, which Republicans control. 'I'm not beating around the bush,' Texas state Rep. Todd Hunter told the committee. 'We have five new districts, and these five new districts are based on political performance.' Contra Abbott and the Justice Department, he admitted the map was being redrawn 'for partisan purposes.' Committee chair Cody Vasut also admitted the move was purely about 'improving political performance.' But by the time Texas Republicans were prepared to vote on the new maps on August 4, Texas Democrats had already left the state. Nearly 60 Democratic members of the state House have fled elsewhere, breaking quorum to derail a vote and promising to stay away from Texas for the duration of Abbott's 30-day session. Texas Republicans subsequently ordered arrest warrants and directed state marshals to haul Democrats back to the capitol — a largely symbolic maneuver confined by state lines. It's also expensive; missing members are racking up $500 in daily penalties for every day they miss work. But for Democrats, it's a high-profile act of obstruction that puts Republicans on notice. 'This is not a decision we make lightly, but it is one we make with absolute moral clarity,' Democratic state Rep. Gene Wu said from Illinois after leaving the state with several Texas Democrats. Wu, the state's Democratic caucus chair, said the GOP has put forward a 'racist, gerrymandered map' that 'seeks to use racial lines to divide hard-working communities that have spent decades building up their power and strengthening their voices.' Governor Abbott has done so 'in submission of Donald Trump, so Donald Trump can steal these communities' power and voice,' Wu continued. 'We will not be complicit in the destruction of our own communities.' The developing war over congressional maps follows a series of Supreme Court decisions that have gradually chipped away at the Voting Rights Act and constitutional guardrails to protect against racial gerrymandering, or carving up electoral maps to prevent racial minorities from electing their preferred candidates. Federal courts have generally blocked the creation of congressional districts that 'crack' or 'pack' communities of color to dilute their voting strength. After Texas redistricted in 2021, voting rights advocates challenged the new maps in court, arguing that state lawmakers drew up racially gerrymandered districts that discriminated against minority voters. Currently, Texas has nine districts where no one racial or ethnic group has a majority; in eight of them, Black, Hispanic and Asian voters combined create a so-called "coalition district' majority. Trump's Department of Justice claims that three of those districts are unconstitutional 'coalition districts' — which constitutional law scholars and voting rights advocates say is a deliberately bad-faith reading of the law. Trump's demands to redraw maps in the middle of the decade, largely to hold on to power to avoid any political blowback in 2026, could trigger what Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin has called 'a race to the bottom' nationwide. Former attorney general Eric Holder, who chairs the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, has spent the last several years fighting off partisan gerrymanders, including Democratic-led maps. But in the wake of Trump's threats, Holder is now telling Democratic officials to embrace what leverage they have and be 'unabashed in our desire to acquire power.' 'This midcycle redistricting ploy in Texas, and potentially in other states, is something that has to be met in the moment,' Holder told The New York Times. 'Our commitment to fairness didn't blind us to this new reality, and I think that we've got to take these extraordinary steps, with the hope that we can then save democracy and ultimately heal it. If you give Donald Trump unchecked power for two years beyond 2026, given what they've done in six months, I just wonder what kind of shape will the nation be in come Jan. 20, 2029.' The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee has also called on Democratic state legislatures to 'pursue redistricting mid-cycle,' but Democrats don't hold 'enough legislative majorities to win an all-out, state-by-state battle.' Republican state legislatures oversee 55 Democratic congressional seats. Democratic state legislative majorities, meanwhile, oversee only 35 GOP districts. 'All options must be on the table — including Democratic state legislatures using their power to fight back and pursue redistricting mid-cycle in order to protect our democracy,' committee president Heather Williams said in a statement. Republicans are preemptively trying to stop Democratic states from joining the fight. Republican Rep. Kevin Kiley of California wants to 'stop a damaging redistricting war from breaking out across the country,' brushing up against demands from his party leaders for the by-any-means-necessary battle to preserve, and expand, the House majority next year. California Governor Gavin Newsom, whose state holds a whopping 52 House seats, has also planned retaliatory map-making to target vulnerable Republican seats in the state. Other Democratic-led states are expected to follow, potentially blowing past the guidance from independent redistricting commissions that are designed to prevent lawmakers from crafting partisan, racist and otherwise discriminatory maps. Hochul has considered disbanding New York's commission altogether. 'I'm tired of fighting this fight with my hands tied behind my back,' she said this week. 'When we say we cannot use that power to the fullest, we're abdicating the responsibility we all have. Republicans take over the legislature? They can have it. Until then, we're in charge, and we're sick and tired of being pushed around.' Republicans only have Trump to blame, she said. 'The playing field has changed dramatically, and shame on us if we ignore that fact and cling tight to the vestiges of the past,' she said. 'That era is over. Donald Trump eliminated that forever.'

Trump rules out Bessent as next Fed chair, says may name Powell replacement soon

President Trump said Tuesday morning that the pool of potential nominees to succeed Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is down to four people, and that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will not be nominated for the role. "The two Kevins are doing well, and I have two other people that are doing well," Trump said in an interview with CNBC on Tuesday. The "two Kevins" are in reference to former Fed governor Kevin Warsh and Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council. Asked about Fed Governor Chris Waller and Secretary Bessent, Trump didn't deny that Waller was among the four possible replacements for Powell, but did say that Bessent does not want the job. "I love Scott, but he wants to stay where he is," Trump said. Trump said he may make the decision to announce Powell's replacement "soon," also noting that Fed governor Adriana Kugler is set to leave her post at the end of week and that a nominee for that opening could be announced in the coming days. Asked whether a Kugler replacement could eventually be nominated to replace Powell as Fed chair, Trump said, "that's a possibility, too." Kugler's term as a governor was set to expire on Jan. 31, but she announced last week she will resign on Aug. 8, opening a spot on the Federal Reserve Board for the president to fill. Kugler, who has served as a Fed governor since Sept. 13, 2023, will return to Georgetown University as a professor this fall. Warsh has experience navigating the central bank, serving as Fed governor from 2006 until 2011; Warsh was former Fed Chair Ben Bernanke's liaison to Wall Street during the chaos of the 2008 financial crisis. He is also a known figure to Trump, who interviewed him for the Fed chair post eight years ago before deciding to nominate Powell. Trump nominated Powell to serve as Fed chair in 2017 at the direction of then-Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. Powell's first term as Fed chair began in Feb. 2018. Former President Biden reappointed Powell to another four year term which started in 2022. Powell's current term as Fed chair is set to expire next May. The White House also hopes that Powell will decide to leave the Fed Board of Governors when his chairmanship is up next year, which would open up a second seat Trump can fill. Powell has not yet said whether he intends to do that; his term as a Fed governor is not up until 2028. Warsh has been critical of the Fed of late, suggesting that the Fed could look through inflation related to tariffs because they'd be a one-time increase. He's also argued that the costs involved in renovating the Fed's headquarters represent one of several examples of how the Fed "has lost its way" and that the American people "need a reformer to fix" the institution and rebuild its credibility. "Frankly, it's about breaking some heads," he said on Fox Business last month, calling for "regime change" at the central bank. Hassett, meanwhile, already has a close relationship with Trump, given that he advises the president on economic policy and also served in the first Trump administration. Earlier in the year, Hassett said he was more focused on the 10-year Treasury yield than on any quick monetary policy changes at the Federal Reserve. While the Fed has greater influence on short-term Treasury yields, longer-term yields are influenced by a range of factors outside the Fed and the 10-year holds sway over mortgage rates that more directly weigh on household finances. Recently, Hassett has been more blunt, saying there's no reason why the Fed shouldn't be cutting rates now, something the president has repeatedly hammered the central bank to do. Hassett signaled in an interview Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press that he's open to succeeding Fed Chair Powell if the president chooses him. 'I've been working with the president for about eight years, and, you know, as one of his closest economic advisers, of course, we've talked about the Federal Reserve,' Hassett told NBC. When pressed whether he'd say yes if chosen to be the next Fed Chair, Hassett said, 'we'll have to see if he chooses me.' Meanwhile, Fed Governor Waller — whom the president acknowledged is in the running for chair — dissented at last week's central bank policy meeting along with Fed Governor Michelle Bowman, with both preferring the Fed cut rates by 25 basis rather than keeping interest rates unchanged.
