The US leader declared on late Wednesday that he had endorsed the bill decisively approved by Congress members that directs the Department of Justice to release more files regarding the convicted sex offender, the late pedophile.

This decision follows weeks of opposition from the leader and his political allies in the House and Senate that fractured his Maga base and generated conflicts with various established backers.

The president had resisted disclosing the Epstein documents, calling the issue a "hoax" and criticizing those who attempted to publish the files available, notwithstanding promising their publication on the election circuit.

However he changed direction in the last week after it become clear the legislative chamber would pass the legislation. Donald Trump commented: "Everything is transparent".

The details are unknown what the justice department will disclose in following the legislation – the measure outlines a range of potential items that need to be disclosed, but allows exclusions for certain documents.

Trump Endorses Bill to Force Disclosure of Further Epstein Files

The legislation mandates the attorney general to make public Epstein-related documents publicly available "in a searchable and downloadable format", covering each examination into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate his accomplice, flight logs and journey documentation, people cited or listed in association with his crimes, organizations that were linked to his trafficking or economic systems, protection agreements and additional legal settlements, organizational messages about prosecution choices, records of his detention and death, and information about any file deletions.

The justice department will have 30 days to provide the documents. The measure contains certain exemptions, encompassing deletions of victims' identifying information or private records, any descriptions of minor exploitation, releases that would compromise ongoing inquiries or prosecutions and depictions of fatality or exploitation.
