The US leader announced on Wednesday evening that he had approved the measure resoundingly approved by Congress members that mandates the Department of Justice to make public more files concerning the convicted sex offender, the deceased pedophile.

This decision comes after months of pushback from the chief executive and his supporters in Congress that divided his Maga base and caused divisions with certain loyal followers.

Donald Trump had resisted releasing the Epstein files, calling the issue a "fabrication" and criticizing those who sought to release the documents public, notwithstanding promising their disclosure on the election circuit.

But he reversed course in the last week after it was evident the House of Representatives would pass the measure. The president said: "We have nothing to hide".

The specifics remain uncertain what the justice department will release in response to the legislation – the legislation outlines a host of potential items that should be made public, but provides exceptions for some materials.

The President Signs Legislation to Force Publication of Further Epstein Records

The legislation requires the attorney general to make public Epstein-connected records open for review "in an easily accessible digital format", encompassing all investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate his accomplice, travel documentation and travel records, persons referenced or named in association with his crimes, entities that were connected with his human trafficking or money operations, protection agreements and other plea agreements, organizational messages about prosecution choices, documentation of his detention and death, and particulars about any file deletions.

The department will have thirty days to turn over the records. The measure provides for some exceptions, such as removals of confidential victim data or individual documents, any representations of youth molestation, publications that would jeopardize active investigations or legal cases and descriptions of death or abuse.
