A new Reuters/Ipsos poll reveals that few Americans believe the Donald Trump>>> administration has delivered justice in cases connected to accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein>>>. Only 10% of respondents think the administration helped hold people accountable, and 84% believe powerful individuals are rarely held accountable. The poll also shows that three-quarters of the country suspect the federal government is still hiding information about Jeffrey Epstein>>>'s alleged clients. The controversy was reignited by the United States — United States Department of Justice>>>'s release of investigation files in January, which named prominent figures including Donald Trump>>> and Bill Gates>>>. Bill Gates>>> is scheduled for a closed-door interview with congressional investigators regarding his ties to Jeffrey Epstein>>>.
