Donald Trump declared on Wednesday night that he had approved the measure decisively approved by American lawmakers that directs the justice department to make public more records concerning the deceased financier, the deceased sex offender.

The move follows weeks of opposition from the leader and his backers in the legislature that divided his Maga base and generated conflicts with various established backers.

Donald Trump had fought against disclosing the Epstein files, labeling the issue a "false narrative" and railing against those who attempted to publish the records accessible, despite vowing their publication on the campaign trail.

But he reversed course in recent days after it was evident the House of Representatives would pass the legislation. The president said: "Everything is transparent".

The details are unknown what the agency will disclose in as a result of the legislation – the measure specifies a variety of possible documents that need to be disclosed, but includes exemptions for specific records.

Trump Signs Measure to Require Publication of Additional Epstein Files

The measure mandates the attorney general to make non-classified related records publicly available "in an easily accessible digital format", covering all investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate his accomplice, aircraft records and travel records, people referenced or named in association with his crimes, entities that were tied to his exploitation or money operations, exemption arrangements and additional legal settlements, official correspondence about prosecution choices, records of his detention and death, and information about potential document destruction.

The justice department will have 30 days to turn over the records. The bill includes some exceptions, including redactions of personal details of victims or private records, any descriptions of minor exploitation, releases that would endanger active investigations or prosecutions and descriptions of fatality or abuse.
