The US leader declared on Wednesday evening that he had approved the measure decisively endorsed by Congress members that mandates the federal justice agency to disclose more documents regarding the deceased financier, the dead child sexual abuser.

The move comes after months of resistance from the chief executive and his political allies in Congress that fractured his Maga base and created rifts with various established backers.

The president had resisted making public the Epstein files, labeling the issue a "false narrative" and railing against those who wanted to make the files available, despite vowing their disclosure on the election circuit.

However he reversed course in the past few days after it became apparent the House would pass the legislation. Donald Trump stated: "Everything is transparent".

The specifics remain uncertain what the justice department will release in following the bill – the legislation details a variety of potential items that should be made public, but includes exemptions for certain documents.

Donald Trump Endorses Bill to Require Release of More Epstein Files

The measure mandates the top justice official to make public Epstein-connected records accessible to the public "available for online access", encompassing every inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate Maxwell, aircraft records and movement logs, people cited or listed in relation to his crimes, institutions that were connected with his human trafficking or financial networks, immunity deals and further court deals, organizational messages about legal actions, evidence of his imprisonment and demise, and details about possible record elimination.

The justice department will have one month to submit the files. The legislation provides for some exceptions, including removals of personal details of victims or personal files, any depictions of minor exploitation, releases that would jeopardize active investigations or court proceedings and descriptions of demise or exploitation.
