The US leader stated on Wednesday evening that he had signed the measure overwhelmingly passed by US legislators that instructs the justice department to release more documents regarding the convicted sex offender, the deceased sex offender.

The move comes after weeks of pushback from the chief executive and his supporters in the legislature that split his core constituency and generated conflicts with some of his longtime supporters.

Trump had resisted releasing the Epstein files, labeling the issue a "fabrication" and condemning those who sought to release the documents public, despite vowing their release on the political campaign.

Nevertheless he reversed course in the past few days after it become clear the House would approve the bill. Donald Trump commented: "We have nothing to hide".

It's not clear what the department will disclose in following the legislation – the legislation specifies a range of potential items that must be released, but includes exemptions for certain documents.

Trump Approves Bill to Force Publication of More Epstein Records

The legislation mandates the chief law enforcement officer to make non-classified Epstein-related files publicly available "in a searchable and downloadable format", including all investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, his colleague Ghislaine Maxwell, flight logs and movement logs, people mentioned or identified in connection with his offenses, institutions that were connected with his exploitation or economic systems, exemption arrangements and further court deals, internal communications about legal actions, documentation of his confinement and death, and information about potential document destruction.

The department will have thirty days to submit the files. The legislation includes specific exclusions, including removals of personal details of victims or personal files, any descriptions of child sexual abuse, disclosures that would compromise ongoing inquiries or prosecutions and depictions of death or exploitation.
