The US leader announced on Wednesday night that he had endorsed the bill resoundingly endorsed by Congress members that mandates the Department of Justice to make public more records related to the deceased financier, the deceased pedophile.

This action follows weeks of resistance from the chief executive and his backers in Congress that divided his core constituency and generated conflicts with certain loyal followers.

The president had resisted disclosing the Epstein files, describing the issue a "hoax" and criticizing those who wanted to make the files available, despite vowing their disclosure on the political campaign.

But he altered his position in the past few days after it was evident the legislative chamber would endorse the measure. Trump stated: "Everything is transparent".

The specifics remain uncertain what the agency will release in response to the measure – the legislation specifies a variety of possible documents that need to be disclosed, but provides exceptions for certain documents.

Donald Trump Approves Legislation to Compel Disclosure of More Epstein Documents

The measure requires the top justice official to make unclassified related files publicly available "in a searchable and downloadable format", covering all investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate Maxwell, travel documentation and movement logs, people cited or listed in connection with his illegal activities, institutions that were linked to his exploitation or money operations, immunity deals and other plea agreements, internal communications about prosecution choices, records of his confinement and demise, and details about any file deletions.

The department will have one month to submit the documents. The bill provides for certain exemptions, such as removals of personal details of victims or individual documents, any representations of child sexual abuse, publications that would jeopardize ongoing inquiries or legal cases and depictions of death or abuse.
