Donald Trump announced on late Wednesday that he had approved the legislation resoundingly passed by American lawmakers that mandates the Department of Justice to make public more files regarding the convicted sex offender, the late pedophile.

This decision arrives after weeks of opposition from the leader and his political allies in the legislature that divided his core constituency and caused divisions with certain loyal followers.

The president had resisted disclosing the related records, describing the issue a "fabrication" and railing against those who sought to release the documents public, despite pledging their release on the election circuit.

But he altered his position in the past few days after it became apparent the House of Representatives would endorse the measure. Donald Trump said: "Everything is transparent".

It's not clear what the department will make public in response to the measure – the bill specifies a host of possible documents that must be released, but provides exceptions for specific records.

Donald Trump Endorses Measure to Force Disclosure of More Jeffrey Epstein Documents

The measure requires the chief law enforcement officer to make unclassified Epstein-connected documents accessible to the public "available for online access", encompassing all investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, aircraft records and travel records, persons mentioned or identified in association with his offenses, organizations that were connected with his trafficking or financial networks, exemption arrangements and additional legal settlements, organizational messages about charging decisions, records of his imprisonment and demise, and particulars about potential document destruction.

The agency will have 30 days to submit the documents. The bill includes specific exclusions, encompassing redactions of confidential victim data or personal files, any depictions of child sexual abuse, releases that would jeopardize current examinations or legal cases and depictions of demise or exploitation.
