The US leader stated on Wednesday evening that he had endorsed the legislation decisively passed by US legislators that directs the justice department to disclose more files regarding the deceased financier, the late pedophile.

The move follows weeks of opposition from the leader and his backers in the House and Senate that split his Maga base and generated conflicts with some of his longtime supporters.

Donald Trump had resisted making public the Epstein files, labeling the situation a "fabrication" and criticizing those who attempted to publish the documents public, even though vowing their publication on the campaign trail.

Nevertheless he reversed course in recent days after it became apparent the House would endorse the bill. The president said: "Everything is transparent".

The specifics remain uncertain what the agency will release in response to the bill – the legislation outlines a variety of possible documents that need to be disclosed, but provides exceptions for some materials.

Trump Endorses Measure to Compel Disclosure of Further the financier Records

The bill calls for the top justice official to make public related records publicly available "in an easily accessible digital format", including all investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate his accomplice, aircraft records and journey documentation, people referenced or named in connection with his offenses, entities that were connected with his human trafficking or money operations, immunity deals and other plea agreements, internal communications about charging decisions, records of his imprisonment and death, and particulars about possible record elimination.

The agency will have thirty days to submit the records. The measure contains certain exemptions, such as deletions of confidential victim data or personal files, any representations of child sexual abuse, releases that would endanger ongoing inquiries or court proceedings and descriptions of demise or mistreatment.
