The US leader stated on late Wednesday that he had approved the measure decisively endorsed by Congress members that mandates the federal justice agency to release more documents concerning the convicted sex offender, the dead pedophile.

This action follows an extended period of opposition from the leader and his supporters in Congress that split his core constituency and generated conflicts with certain loyal followers.

The president had opposed releasing the Epstein files, labeling the issue a "fabrication" and condemning those who wanted to make the records accessible, even though pledging their disclosure on the election circuit.

However he reversed course in recent days after it was evident the House would pass the legislation. Trump commented: "We have nothing to hide".

It's not clear what the agency will make public in response to the legislation – the legislation outlines a host of various records that should be made public, but includes exemptions for specific records.

Donald Trump Approves Measure to Compel Publication of Additional Epstein Documents

The legislation calls for the attorney general to make unclassified Epstein-connected records publicly available "in a searchable and downloadable format", covering all investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, his colleague Ghislaine Maxwell, travel documentation and movement logs, individuals mentioned or identified in relation to his offenses, institutions that were connected with his exploitation or economic systems, immunity deals and further court deals, organizational messages about prosecution choices, records of his confinement and passing, and particulars about any file deletions.

The justice department will have 30 days to submit the files. The bill contains some exceptions, including removals of confidential victim data or private records, any representations of child sexual abuse, publications that would compromise ongoing inquiries or prosecutions and depictions of fatality or abuse.
