The President stated on late Wednesday that he had approved the legislation resoundingly approved by American lawmakers that instructs the Department of Justice to disclose more records concerning the deceased financier, the late sex offender.

This action arrives after weeks of opposition from the president and his supporters in the legislature that split his Maga base and generated conflicts with various established backers.

The president had opposed releasing the Epstein files, describing the issue a "false narrative" and condemning those who sought to release the files available, despite pledging their release on the election circuit.

However he reversed course in the past few days after it become clear the House would endorse the bill. Donald Trump stated: "We have nothing to hide".

It's not clear what the agency will disclose in following the bill – the measure specifies a host of potential items that should be made public, but allows exclusions for certain documents.

The measure calls for the chief law enforcement officer to make public Epstein-related records open for review "in an easily accessible digital format", encompassing every inquiry into Epstein, his associate his accomplice, flight logs and movement logs, people referenced or named in association with his offenses, entities that were linked to his trafficking or money operations, protection agreements and further court deals, internal communications about charging decisions, evidence of his confinement and passing, and particulars about any file deletions.

The department will have 30 days to turn over the documents. The bill includes specific exclusions, including redactions of victims' identifying information or personal files, any descriptions of child sexual abuse, releases that would endanger current examinations or prosecutions and representations of demise or mistreatment.
