The name Jeffrey Epstein has started appearing in political advertisements for the coming U.S. midterm elections.
A recent voter poll from couriernewsroom.com finds that an "Epstein cover-up" is a leading concern for a portion of voters.
Fact-checking by The New York Times is assessing the assertions presented in those ads.
In Michigan, candidates are being pressed to address questions related to Epstein, according to reporting by Gander Newsroom.
This pattern is increasingly visible as the elections draw closer.
