Donald Trump stated on late Wednesday that he had approved the measure decisively endorsed by American lawmakers that mandates the Department of Justice to release more records concerning Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased sex offender.

The move follows months of opposition from the chief executive and his supporters in the House and Senate that divided his core constituency and caused divisions with certain loyal followers.

Trump had resisted disclosing the Epstein documents, calling the issue a "false narrative" and criticizing those who attempted to publish the files available, even though vowing their publication on the election circuit.

However he changed direction in the past few days after it became apparent the legislative chamber would pass the measure. Donald Trump commented: "There are no secrets".

The specifics remain uncertain what the department will disclose in response to the measure – the measure details a range of various records that need to be disclosed, but includes exemptions for certain documents.

Trump Endorses Bill to Require Disclosure of Additional the financier Documents

The bill requires the chief law enforcement officer to make public related documents publicly available "available for online access", covering all investigations into Epstein, his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, aircraft records and travel records, persons mentioned or identified in relation to his illegal activities, institutions that were tied to his exploitation or economic systems, immunity deals and further court deals, organizational messages about charging decisions, documentation of his imprisonment and demise, and details about potential document destruction.

The justice department will have one month to turn over the files. The measure provides for some exceptions, such as deletions of personal details of victims or private records, any descriptions of youth molestation, releases that would endanger ongoing inquiries or court proceedings and depictions of death or abuse.
