Donald Trump stated on Wednesday night that he had endorsed the legislation resoundingly passed by American lawmakers that directs the justice department to release more documents regarding the deceased financier, the deceased sex offender.

This action arrives after months of pushback from the chief executive and his backers in Congress that divided his political supporters and generated conflicts with some of his longtime supporters.

Donald Trump had resisted releasing the Epstein documents, calling the issue a "false narrative" and criticizing those who sought to release the files available, despite promising their publication on the election circuit.

However he changed direction in the past few days after it became apparent the legislative chamber would pass the measure. The president said: "Everything is transparent".

The specifics remain uncertain what the justice department will make public in following the bill – the bill details a variety of potential items that must be released, but includes exemptions for specific records.

Trump Endorses Measure to Force Disclosure of More Jeffrey Epstein Records

The legislation requires the attorney general to make public Epstein-connected records open for review "in an easily accessible digital format", encompassing every inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate his accomplice, flight logs and journey documentation, people referenced or named in connection with his crimes, institutions that were linked to his human trafficking or economic systems, exemption arrangements and further court deals, internal communications about charging decisions, documentation of his detention and death, and information about any file deletions.

The justice department will have one month to turn over the files. The legislation provides for certain exemptions, including redactions of confidential victim data or private records, any representations of minor exploitation, disclosures that would jeopardize active investigations or prosecutions and descriptions of demise or mistreatment.
