The US leader announced on Wednesday evening that he had endorsed the measure resoundingly approved by American lawmakers that mandates the federal justice agency to disclose more documents concerning the deceased financier, the deceased pedophile.

This action follows months of opposition from the president and his supporters in the House and Senate that fractured his core constituency and generated conflicts with some of his longtime supporters.

The president had opposed making public the related records, calling the matter a "false narrative" and railing against those who wanted to make the files available, despite promising their publication on the campaign trail.

Nevertheless he altered his position in recent days after it was evident the legislative chamber would endorse the measure. Donald Trump stated: "We have nothing to hide".

The details are unknown what the department will release in response to the measure – the bill specifies a host of various records that should be made public, but allows exclusions for certain documents.

Donald Trump Signs Legislation to Require Disclosure of More Jeffrey Epstein Documents

The bill mandates the chief law enforcement officer to make unclassified Epstein-related documents publicly available "in a searchable and downloadable format", encompassing every inquiry into Epstein, his colleague his accomplice, aircraft records and journey documentation, people mentioned or identified in connection with his offenses, entities that were connected with his trafficking or financial networks, immunity deals and other plea agreements, internal communications about charging decisions, records of his confinement and death, and particulars about possible record elimination.

The justice department will have thirty days to submit the files. The measure contains some exceptions, such as redactions of victims' identifying information or private records, any descriptions of minor exploitation, publications that would endanger active investigations or prosecutions and representations of fatality or exploitation.
