Donald Trump stated on Wednesday night that he had approved the measure decisively endorsed by American lawmakers that instructs the federal justice agency to make public more documents regarding the deceased financier, the late child sexual abuser.

The move arrives after weeks of resistance from the leader and his backers in Congress that fractured his Maga base and caused divisions with various established backers.

The president had fought against making public the Epstein files, calling the issue a "hoax" and condemning those who attempted to publish the files available, even though pledging their publication on the political campaign.

But he changed direction in recent days after it became apparent the House of Representatives would pass the legislation. Donald Trump said: "Everything is transparent".

It's not clear what the agency will disclose in response to the bill – the bill specifies a host of various records that should be made public, but allows exclusions for certain documents.

The President Approves Measure to Compel Disclosure of Additional Epstein Records

The legislation calls for the top justice official to make unclassified related documents publicly available "in a searchable and downloadable format", encompassing every inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein, his colleague his accomplice, flight logs and movement logs, persons cited or listed in relation to his offenses, entities that were tied to his human trafficking or economic systems, immunity deals and other plea agreements, organizational messages about legal actions, documentation of his confinement and death, and details about possible record elimination.

The agency will have thirty days to turn over the files. The legislation includes certain exemptions, such as removals of victims' identifying information or individual documents, any representations of minor exploitation, disclosures that would compromise ongoing inquiries or prosecutions and descriptions of demise or mistreatment.
