The President stated on Wednesday evening that he had signed the legislation resoundingly approved by US legislators that instructs the federal justice agency to disclose more records related to the deceased financier, the dead child sexual abuser.

This decision comes after an extended period of opposition from the chief executive and his political allies in the legislature that split his political supporters and created rifts with various established backers.

Trump had resisted releasing the Epstein documents, labeling the matter a "fabrication" and railing against those who wanted to make the documents public, despite vowing their release on the political campaign.

Nevertheless he changed direction in the past few days after it become clear the House of Representatives would pass the bill. Trump stated: "There are no secrets".

The specifics remain uncertain what the justice department will release in as a result of the measure – the bill details a range of potential items that must be released, but includes exemptions for some materials.

The President Signs Legislation to Require Release of Further Epstein Records

The legislation requires the top justice official to make unclassified Epstein-related documents accessible to the public "in a searchable and downloadable format", including every inquiry into Epstein, his associate Maxwell, travel documentation and journey documentation, persons mentioned or identified in connection with his crimes, organizations that were tied to his trafficking or financial networks, immunity deals and additional legal settlements, organizational messages about prosecution choices, evidence of his detention and demise, and information about possible record elimination.

The justice department will have 30 days to turn over the documents. The legislation provides for specific exclusions, encompassing removals of personal details of victims or personal files, any depictions of minor exploitation, releases that would endanger current examinations or prosecutions and descriptions of death or exploitation.
