The President stated on Wednesday evening that he had endorsed the measure overwhelmingly approved by US legislators that directs the Department of Justice to disclose more documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, the late sex offender.

This decision follows months of resistance from the leader and his backers in Congress that split his Maga base and caused divisions with some of his longtime supporters.

Trump had resisted releasing the Epstein files, labeling the issue a "fabrication" and railing against those who attempted to publish the documents public, even though pledging their release on the political campaign.

However he altered his position in the past few days after it become clear the House of Representatives would endorse the measure. The president commented: "There are no secrets".

The details are unknown what the agency will disclose in as a result of the legislation – the legislation details a host of various records that must be released, but provides exceptions for certain documents.

The President Signs Measure to Require Release of Additional Epstein Files

The measure requires the attorney general to make unclassified Epstein-connected files open for review "available for online access", covering each examination into Epstein, his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, travel documentation and journey documentation, individuals mentioned or identified in connection with his offenses, organizations that were tied to his trafficking or money operations, protection agreements and further court deals, internal communications about prosecution choices, evidence of his imprisonment and passing, and particulars about any file deletions.

The justice department will have one month to provide the documents. The measure provides for certain exemptions, including deletions of victims' identifying information or individual documents, any representations of youth molestation, releases that would endanger ongoing inquiries or prosecutions and representations of demise or exploitation.
