Donald Trump declared on Wednesday night that he had approved the measure decisively passed by American lawmakers that instructs the justice department to release more records concerning Jeffrey Epstein, the dead sex offender.

This action arrives after months of resistance from the president and his supporters in Congress that split his Maga base and generated conflicts with some of his longtime supporters.

Donald Trump had opposed releasing the Epstein documents, describing the situation a "hoax" and condemning those who sought to release the records accessible, even though vowing their publication on the campaign trail.

However he altered his position in the last week after it become clear the House of Representatives would endorse the legislation. Trump stated: "There are no secrets".

The specifics remain uncertain what the department will make public in as a result of the legislation – the bill outlines a host of possible documents that need to be disclosed, but provides exceptions for some materials.

Trump Endorses Bill to Force Publication of Further the financier Documents

The bill calls for the attorney general to make non-classified related files accessible to the public "in an easily accessible digital format", encompassing all investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate Maxwell, flight logs and journey documentation, persons mentioned or identified in connection with his crimes, entities that were connected with his trafficking or financial networks, protection agreements and further court deals, organizational messages about legal actions, records of his confinement and passing, and details about potential document destruction.

The department will have 30 days to submit the documents. The bill provides for some exceptions, encompassing deletions of victims' identifying information or individual documents, any representations of child sexual abuse, releases that would compromise ongoing inquiries or prosecutions and descriptions of demise or exploitation.
