The US leader declared on Wednesday evening that he had approved the bill decisively endorsed by Congress members that directs the federal justice agency to release more files regarding the convicted sex offender, the dead child sexual abuser.

This action follows an extended period of opposition from the chief executive and his supporters in Congress that divided his Maga base and generated conflicts with various established backers.

Donald Trump had fought against disclosing the Epstein documents, describing the issue a "fabrication" and criticizing those who attempted to publish the documents public, even though pledging their disclosure on the campaign trail.

Nevertheless he changed direction in the last week after it became apparent the legislative chamber would endorse the legislation. The president stated: "There are no secrets".

The details are unknown what the agency will make public in response to the measure – the measure outlines a range of possible documents that must be released, but includes exemptions for some materials.

Donald Trump Signs Measure to Compel Release of Additional Jeffrey Epstein Documents

The legislation requires the attorney general to make public related files accessible to the public "in an easily accessible digital format", covering every inquiry into Epstein, his associate Maxwell, flight logs and movement logs, individuals cited or listed in relation to his crimes, entities that were linked to his trafficking or money operations, exemption arrangements and other plea agreements, organizational messages about legal actions, evidence of his imprisonment and passing, and particulars about any file deletions.

The justice department will have thirty days to turn over the documents. The bill includes some exceptions, such as removals of personal details of victims or personal files, any representations of youth molestation, publications that would compromise ongoing inquiries or court proceedings and depictions of fatality or abuse.
