The US leader stated on Wednesday evening that he had approved the legislation resoundingly passed by Congress members that mandates the Department of Justice to make public more records regarding Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased child sexual abuser.

The move comes after months of resistance from the leader and his supporters in the House and Senate that split his Maga base and created rifts with various established backers.

Trump had fought against making public the Epstein documents, labeling the situation a "fabrication" and criticizing those who wanted to make the records accessible, even though vowing their disclosure on the political campaign.

However he altered his position in recent days after it become clear the legislative chamber would endorse the measure. Donald Trump said: "We have nothing to hide".

It's not clear what the department will disclose in following the measure – the bill specifies a range of various records that must be released, but includes exemptions for some materials.

Trump Approves Legislation to Force Publication of More Jeffrey Epstein Files

The legislation requires the attorney general to make non-classified Epstein-related documents open for review "in an easily accessible digital format", covering each examination into Jeffrey Epstein, his colleague his accomplice, aircraft records and movement logs, individuals referenced or named in connection with his offenses, organizations that were linked to his trafficking or money operations, immunity deals and additional legal settlements, internal communications about charging decisions, evidence of his detention and passing, and details about possible record elimination.

The department will have thirty days to provide the files. The legislation contains some exceptions, such as removals of victims' identifying information or individual documents, any representations of minor exploitation, releases that would jeopardize current examinations or prosecutions and depictions of demise or mistreatment.
