Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : After their plane was forced to land in Atlantic City instead of New York, Sjoberg recalled that Epstein said, "Great, we'll call up Trump.
35% : The first batch on Wednesday included Clinton, Trump, Brunel, Copperfield, Fekkai and Thomas Pritzker, executive director of the Hyatt Hotel Corp. Giuffre had previously testified in the case that she was directed by Epstein and Maxwell to have sex with Pritzker, who has denied her allegation.
33% : It isn't clear whether Sjoberg ever actually met Trump, and she said that she never gave him a massage.
32% : Sjoberg said she never met Bill Clinton, but that Epstein told her they were friends.
25% : Though none of the records directly implicate anyone beyond Epstein and Maxwell in illegal or improper activities, witnesses -- mostly young women -- testified that Epstein bragged about his sexual prowess with virgins and boasted of his long list of famous acquaintances, including former presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, Prince Andrew and the late Michael Jackson.
6% : The records were immediately seized upon by partisans on either side of the political and cultural divide, who posted social media attacks on Trump or Clinton even though their connections with Epstein have long been known.
