Donald Trump declared on Wednesday evening that he had endorsed the measure resoundingly endorsed by American lawmakers that instructs the federal justice agency to make public more records regarding the deceased financier, the dead sex offender.

The move arrives after an extended period of opposition from the leader and his supporters in the legislature that split his Maga base and caused divisions with various established backers.

The president had resisted making public the Epstein files, describing the matter a "hoax" and condemning those who attempted to publish the files available, despite pledging their disclosure on the campaign trail.

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

The details are unknown what the department will disclose in response to the legislation – the bill specifies a variety of possible documents that should be made public, but allows exclusions for specific records.

Donald Trump Endorses Legislation to Compel Release of Further Jeffrey Epstein Records

The measure requires the attorney general to make public Epstein-related documents open for review "available for online access", including all investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, aircraft records and journey documentation, individuals cited or listed in association with his crimes, organizations that were connected with his trafficking or financial networks, protection agreements and other plea agreements, internal communications about charging decisions, records of his confinement and passing, and details about possible record elimination.

The department will have thirty days to turn over the documents. The bill provides for some exceptions, including removals of personal details of victims or private records, any representations of minor exploitation, releases that would endanger ongoing inquiries or court proceedings and representations of demise or mistreatment.
