The US leader announced on late Wednesday that he had signed the measure decisively approved by American lawmakers that mandates the Department of Justice to make public more records concerning the deceased financier, the late sex offender.

This decision comes after months of pushback from the president and his political allies in Congress that divided his political supporters and caused divisions with certain loyal followers.

The president had opposed releasing the Epstein documents, calling the issue a "hoax" and railing against those who sought to release the documents public, despite promising their release on the election circuit.

Nevertheless he altered his position in recent days after it became apparent the legislative chamber would pass the bill. Donald Trump said: "Everything is transparent".

The details are unknown what the department will release in response to the measure – the measure outlines a variety of possible documents that need to be disclosed, but includes exemptions for some materials.

Donald Trump Endorses Bill to Require Disclosure of More Epstein Records

The bill requires the attorney general to make public Epstein-related documents open for review "in a searchable and downloadable format", encompassing each examination into Epstein, his associate his accomplice, flight logs and travel records, persons cited or listed in relation to his illegal activities, organizations that were linked to his exploitation or economic systems, protection agreements and other plea agreements, organizational messages about legal actions, documentation of his confinement and death, and information about potential document destruction.

The justice department will have 30 days to turn over the files. The legislation provides for some exceptions, encompassing redactions of personal details of victims or private records, any representations of youth molestation, disclosures that would jeopardize active investigations or court proceedings and depictions of fatality or abuse.
