The President declared on late Wednesday that he had approved the legislation resoundingly endorsed by US legislators that mandates the justice department to release more files related to the convicted sex offender, the deceased child sexual abuser.

This action arrives after weeks of pushback from the president and his backers in the legislature that divided his Maga base and created rifts with some of his longtime supporters.

The president had resisted releasing the Epstein files, describing the situation a "false narrative" and condemning those who sought to release the documents public, even though vowing their publication on the election circuit.

Nevertheless he changed direction in the last week after it became apparent the House would approve the legislation. Trump said: "We have nothing to hide".

It's not clear what the department will release in response to the legislation – the measure specifies a variety of various records that should be made public, but provides exceptions for specific records.

Donald Trump Approves Measure to Require Disclosure of More Epstein Files

The legislation requires the attorney general to make unclassified related records publicly available "available for online access", covering all investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate his accomplice, flight logs and journey documentation, people referenced or named in connection with his illegal activities, organizations that were linked to his trafficking or financial networks, exemption arrangements and additional legal settlements, internal communications about charging decisions, evidence of his imprisonment and demise, and information about potential document destruction.

The justice department will have thirty days to submit the documents. The bill contains certain exemptions, such as removals of victims' identifying information or private records, any depictions of minor exploitation, releases that would jeopardize current examinations or court proceedings and descriptions of death or mistreatment.
