More Americans than not say they believe a recent report from The Wall Street Journal claiming President Donald Trump once sent a birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein, according to a new YouGov poll. Many are also convinced the men were "close friends" and that Trump knew about Epstein's alleged crimes before they became public.

Trump has tried to tamp down criticism of the decision by Attorney General Pam Bondi to keep documents related to Epstein from the public.

Trump had threatened to force Murdoch to "testify in my lawsuit against him and his 'pile of garbage' newspaper".
