89% of Americans want the Epstein files released.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (66/100).
The claim that 89% of Americans want the Epstein files released is supported by multiple sources. A PBS News article and a Wikipedia entry both indicate that a significant majority of Americans support the release of these files. However, the exact figure of 89% is not consistently corroborated across all sources. The Hill reports that almost 7 in 10 Americans believe the files show powerful people are rarely held accountable, which suggests strong public interest but does not directly confirm the 89% figure. Therefore, while there is substantial support for the release, the specific percentage may be slightly exaggerated.
