The President declared on Wednesday night that he had endorsed the bill resoundingly passed by American lawmakers that directs the federal justice agency to disclose more records concerning the deceased financier, the deceased child sexual abuser.

The move follows months of pushback from the chief executive and his political allies in the House and Senate that split his political supporters and caused divisions with certain loyal followers.

Trump had opposed disclosing the Epstein documents, labeling the matter a "fabrication" and criticizing those who attempted to publish the documents public, notwithstanding promising their publication on the political campaign.

Nevertheless he reversed course in the last week after it become clear the House of Representatives would endorse the bill. Donald Trump commented: "There are no secrets".

The details are unknown what the department will disclose in response to the bill – the legislation specifies a range of potential items that should be made public, but includes exemptions for some materials.

The bill requires the attorney general to make public Epstein-connected files open for review "in an easily accessible digital format", including each examination into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate Maxwell, aircraft records and movement logs, persons referenced or named in association with his illegal activities, institutions that were linked to his trafficking or financial networks, exemption arrangements and other plea agreements, official correspondence about prosecution choices, records of his confinement and death, and information about possible record elimination.

The agency will have thirty days to submit the files. The bill provides for certain exemptions, including removals of victims' identifying information or individual documents, any depictions of child sexual abuse, disclosures that would jeopardize active investigations or legal cases and depictions of death or exploitation.
