The US leader declared on Wednesday night that he had signed the bill overwhelmingly endorsed by US legislators that directs the Department of Justice to disclose more records concerning the convicted sex offender, the dead child sexual abuser.

This action comes after months of pushback from the president and his supporters in the legislature that split his core constituency and created rifts with some of his longtime supporters.

Trump had fought against making public the Epstein documents, describing the situation a "false narrative" and railing against those who wanted to make the records accessible, notwithstanding vowing their release on the election circuit.

But he reversed course in the past few days after it was evident the House would pass the measure. Trump commented: "Everything is transparent".

The details are unknown what the agency will release in response to the measure – the legislation specifies a range of potential items that should be made public, but provides exceptions for certain documents.

Donald Trump Approves Legislation to Require Disclosure of More Jeffrey Epstein Records

The measure mandates the top justice official to make non-classified Epstein-related records open for review "in a searchable and downloadable format", covering each examination into Epstein, his associate his accomplice, flight logs and journey documentation, persons referenced or named in connection with his crimes, entities that were tied to his human trafficking or money operations, exemption arrangements and additional legal settlements, organizational messages about charging decisions, evidence of his confinement and death, and details about any file deletions.

The justice department will have 30 days to submit the records. The bill provides for some exceptions, such as removals of personal details of victims or personal files, any representations of youth molestation, publications that would compromise ongoing inquiries or legal cases and depictions of demise or exploitation.
