Donald Trump announced on late Wednesday that he had endorsed the measure decisively endorsed by US legislators that mandates the Department of Justice to disclose more records related to the deceased financier, the late sex offender.

This action follows an extended period of opposition from the leader and his political allies in the House and Senate that divided his core constituency and caused divisions with certain loyal followers.

Donald Trump had opposed making public the Epstein files, describing the issue a "hoax" and railing against those who attempted to publish the files available, even though pledging their disclosure on the campaign trail.

Nevertheless he altered his position in the last week after it became apparent the House of Representatives would approve the bill. The president commented: "We have nothing to hide".

The details are unknown what the agency will disclose in as a result of the legislation – the legislation specifies a host of possible documents that need to be disclosed, but allows exclusions for specific records.

The President Approves Bill to Force Disclosure of More the financier Records

The legislation mandates the chief law enforcement officer to make public Epstein-related files accessible to the public "available for online access", covering each examination into Epstein, his colleague Maxwell, flight logs and movement logs, people referenced or named in relation to his illegal activities, organizations that were linked to his exploitation or economic systems, exemption arrangements and additional legal settlements, official correspondence about legal actions, evidence of his detention and passing, and particulars about possible record elimination.

The department will have one month to submit the records. The legislation provides for specific exclusions, such as removals of victims' identifying information or individual documents, any descriptions of youth molestation, releases that would compromise ongoing inquiries or prosecutions and descriptions of death or mistreatment.
