The President stated on late Wednesday that he had endorsed the bill decisively passed by US legislators that mandates the federal justice agency to disclose more files regarding the deceased financier, the dead child sexual abuser.

The move comes after months of resistance from the leader and his backers in the House and Senate that fractured his core constituency and generated conflicts with certain loyal followers.

The president had opposed releasing the Epstein documents, describing the matter a "fabrication" and railing against those who attempted to publish the files available, despite pledging their release on the political campaign.

Nevertheless he reversed course in the past few days after it was evident the House of Representatives would pass the measure. Trump stated: "There are no secrets".

It's not clear what the agency will make public in as a result of the measure – the bill specifies a variety of potential items that need to be disclosed, but allows exclusions for certain documents.

Trump Endorses Legislation to Force Publication of Further Jeffrey Epstein Documents

The measure requires the chief law enforcement officer to make non-classified related documents accessible to the public "in an easily accessible digital format", covering all investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, travel documentation and movement logs, persons mentioned or identified in association with his offenses, institutions that were tied to his human trafficking or economic systems, exemption arrangements and additional legal settlements, official correspondence about legal actions, documentation of his confinement and demise, and details about potential document destruction.

The department will have thirty days to turn over the files. The measure includes specific exclusions, encompassing redactions of personal details of victims or individual documents, any depictions of minor exploitation, releases that would endanger ongoing inquiries or prosecutions and depictions of demise or exploitation.
