The President stated on Wednesday evening that he had approved the legislation overwhelmingly passed by American lawmakers that directs the federal justice agency to release more files regarding the deceased financier, the late child sexual abuser.

The move comes after months of opposition from the chief executive and his political allies in Congress that split his political supporters and caused divisions with certain loyal followers.

The president had resisted releasing the Epstein documents, labeling the matter a "fabrication" and railing against those who attempted to publish the records accessible, notwithstanding promising their publication on the election circuit.

However he reversed course in recent days after it became apparent the legislative chamber would pass the legislation. Trump commented: "Everything is transparent".

It's not clear what the agency will disclose in as a result of the bill – the measure outlines a variety of possible documents that need to be disclosed, but allows exclusions for some materials.

Donald Trump Endorses Legislation to Compel Disclosure of Additional Epstein Documents

The legislation calls for the chief law enforcement officer to make non-classified Epstein-connected records open for review "available for online access", encompassing each examination into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate his accomplice, aircraft records and travel records, individuals mentioned or identified in association with his offenses, organizations that were linked to his human trafficking or financial networks, exemption arrangements and other plea agreements, official correspondence about charging decisions, records of his imprisonment and demise, and information about possible record elimination.

The department will have one month to submit the files. The legislation provides for some exceptions, including removals of personal details of victims or private records, any depictions of child sexual abuse, disclosures that would endanger ongoing inquiries or court proceedings and depictions of fatality or abuse.
