Donald Trump announced on Wednesday night that he had approved the bill overwhelmingly approved by US legislators that instructs the Department of Justice to release more files concerning Jeffrey Epstein, the late pedophile.

This action arrives after an extended period of pushback from the chief executive and his political allies in the legislature that divided his core constituency and caused divisions with certain loyal followers.

The president had resisted releasing the Epstein documents, calling the issue a "false narrative" and condemning those who attempted to publish the records accessible, even though vowing their release on the election circuit.

Nevertheless he altered his position in the past few days after it was evident the House would endorse the bill. Trump commented: "There are no secrets".

The details are unknown what the department will release in as a result of the bill – the bill details a host of possible documents that must be released, but includes exemptions for certain documents.

Trump Endorses Bill to Require Disclosure of More Epstein Documents

The bill requires the top justice official to make public Epstein-related files open for review "available for online access", including every inquiry into Epstein, his colleague Maxwell, travel documentation and journey documentation, persons referenced or named in connection with his illegal activities, institutions that were connected with his human trafficking or money operations, protection agreements and other plea agreements, internal communications about charging decisions, records of his detention and passing, and details about any file deletions.

The department will have one month to turn over the files. The bill includes certain exemptions, such as deletions of victims' identifying information or individual documents, any descriptions of youth molestation, releases that would jeopardize active investigations or legal cases and representations of death or exploitation.
