The US leader announced on Wednesday night that he had signed the measure decisively approved by US legislators that directs the federal justice agency to disclose more records regarding the convicted sex offender, the deceased sex offender.

This decision follows weeks of opposition from the leader and his backers in the House and Senate that fractured his core constituency and caused divisions with certain loyal followers.

Donald Trump had fought against disclosing the Epstein documents, calling the issue a "hoax" and condemning those who sought to release the files available, notwithstanding vowing their disclosure on the political campaign.

However he changed direction in the past few days after it was evident the legislative chamber would pass the measure. Trump stated: "Everything is transparent".

It's not clear what the department will make public in following the legislation – the bill specifies a variety of various records that should be made public, but allows exclusions for specific records.

Donald Trump Approves Legislation to Require Release of Further Jeffrey Epstein Records

The legislation mandates the top justice official to make non-classified Epstein-related files open for review "available for online access", including every inquiry into Epstein, his colleague Maxwell, aircraft records and movement logs, persons referenced or named in relation to his illegal activities, institutions that were connected with his exploitation or money operations, immunity deals and other plea agreements, official correspondence about charging decisions, evidence of his confinement and passing, and information about possible record elimination.

The agency will have thirty days to submit the records. The bill provides for specific exclusions, including redactions of victims' identifying information or private records, any descriptions of child sexual abuse, publications that would jeopardize ongoing inquiries or prosecutions and descriptions of death or mistreatment.
