The US leader stated on late Wednesday that he had approved the legislation resoundingly approved by US legislators that mandates the justice department to disclose more files related to the convicted sex offender, the dead pedophile.

This action arrives after an extended period of resistance from the president and his political allies in Congress that fractured his core constituency and generated conflicts with some of his longtime supporters.

Trump had fought against disclosing the related records, describing the issue a "fabrication" and railing against those who sought to release the files available, despite pledging their release on the political campaign.

Nevertheless he changed direction in the last week after it was evident the House of Representatives would endorse the measure. Donald Trump said: "Everything is transparent".

It's not clear what the department will release in following the bill – the legislation details a variety of possible documents that need to be disclosed, but allows exclusions for some materials.

Donald Trump Signs Measure to Require Release of Additional Epstein Records

The measure calls for the attorney general to make non-classified Epstein-related documents publicly available "in an easily accessible digital format", covering every inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate his accomplice, aircraft records and travel records, people referenced or named in association with his offenses, entities that were tied to his human trafficking or financial networks, immunity deals and further court deals, internal communications about legal actions, documentation of his imprisonment and demise, and details about any file deletions.

The agency will have one month to turn over the records. The legislation provides for certain exemptions, including deletions of personal details of victims or private records, any depictions of minor exploitation, releases that would endanger ongoing inquiries or court proceedings and descriptions of fatality or mistreatment.
