The President stated on Wednesday night that he had approved the legislation decisively passed by US legislators that directs the federal justice agency to release more documents related to the convicted sex offender, the deceased pedophile.

The move follows an extended period of opposition from the chief executive and his supporters in the legislature that divided his core constituency and created rifts with some of his longtime supporters.

Trump had opposed disclosing the Epstein documents, describing the issue a "false narrative" and condemning those who sought to release the documents public, even though promising their publication on the political campaign.

But he changed direction in the past few days after it become clear the legislative chamber would endorse the legislation. Trump commented: "There are no secrets".

The details are unknown what the department will make public in following the legislation – the legislation specifies a variety of potential items that must be released, but includes exemptions for specific records.

The President Endorses Bill to Require Release of More Jeffrey Epstein Files

The measure calls for the chief law enforcement officer to make non-classified Epstein-related files publicly available "available for online access", including every inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, flight logs and travel records, individuals mentioned or identified in connection with his crimes, institutions that were linked to his exploitation or financial networks, exemption arrangements and other plea agreements, internal communications about charging decisions, records of his imprisonment and demise, and information about possible record elimination.

The department will have 30 days to provide the documents. The measure includes some exceptions, encompassing removals of personal details of victims or private records, any representations of child sexual abuse, publications that would jeopardize active investigations or legal cases and representations of fatality or mistreatment.
