Donald Trump stated on Wednesday evening that he had signed the legislation overwhelmingly endorsed by American lawmakers that mandates the federal justice agency to make public more files regarding the convicted sex offender, the late pedophile.

This decision arrives after months of opposition from the leader and his political allies in the legislature that divided his political supporters and generated conflicts with some of his longtime supporters.

Trump had resisted disclosing the Epstein documents, labeling the situation a "fabrication" and railing against those who sought to release the files available, even though vowing their disclosure on the election circuit.

But he altered his position in the last week after it became apparent the House would approve the measure. Trump stated: "There are no secrets".

The details are unknown what the justice department will make public in following the legislation – the bill outlines a range of various records that should be made public, but includes exemptions for certain documents.

The President Approves Legislation to Force Release of Further Epstein Files

The measure calls for the top justice official to make public Epstein-connected records accessible to the public "available for online access", encompassing every inquiry into Epstein, his associate Maxwell, flight logs and journey documentation, people mentioned or identified in association with his crimes, entities that were linked to his human trafficking or economic systems, protection agreements and additional legal settlements, internal communications about prosecution choices, documentation of his detention and passing, and particulars about potential document destruction.

The justice department will have thirty days to provide the files. The legislation contains some exceptions, encompassing deletions of victims' identifying information or personal files, any depictions of minor exploitation, releases that would endanger active investigations or court proceedings and depictions of fatality or mistreatment.
