Donald Trump declared on Wednesday evening that he had endorsed the bill decisively passed by US legislators that directs the Department of Justice to make public more documents regarding the deceased financier, the dead pedophile.

This action arrives after weeks of opposition from the chief executive and his political allies in the House and Senate that fractured his Maga base and generated conflicts with certain loyal followers.

The president had fought against making public the Epstein documents, calling the matter a "hoax" and criticizing those who wanted to make the records accessible, notwithstanding vowing their disclosure on the campaign trail.

Nevertheless he altered his position in the past few days after it become clear the legislative chamber would endorse the bill. The president stated: "Everything is transparent".

The specifics remain uncertain what the justice department will release in response to the legislation – the legislation outlines a range of potential items that should be made public, but provides exceptions for certain documents.

Trump Signs Legislation to Require Disclosure of Additional Jeffrey Epstein Documents

The measure requires the chief law enforcement officer to make non-classified Epstein-connected records open for review "available for online access", covering all investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, his colleague Ghislaine Maxwell, travel documentation and movement logs, persons mentioned or identified in association with his crimes, organizations that were connected with his exploitation or financial networks, immunity deals and additional legal settlements, official correspondence about charging decisions, records of his confinement and death, and information about possible record elimination.

The agency will have 30 days to turn over the documents. The legislation contains certain exemptions, including removals of confidential victim data or individual documents, any descriptions of minor exploitation, releases that would jeopardize current examinations or legal cases and descriptions of demise or abuse.
