The US leader declared on late Wednesday that he had endorsed the measure decisively passed by US legislators that directs the federal justice agency to release more documents concerning Jeffrey Epstein, the dead child sexual abuser.

The move follows months of pushback from the chief executive and his supporters in Congress that split his core constituency and created rifts with certain loyal followers.

Trump had fought against disclosing the related records, calling the matter a "false narrative" and railing against those who attempted to publish the documents public, despite vowing their publication on the election circuit.

However he changed direction in the last week after it became apparent the legislative chamber would approve the bill. Donald Trump commented: "Everything is transparent".

The details are unknown what the agency will make public in response to the bill – the measure outlines a host of possible documents that must be released, but allows exclusions for specific records.

The President Approves Legislation to Force Publication of More Epstein Documents

The measure calls for the attorney general to make public Epstein-related files publicly available "in a searchable and downloadable format", covering each examination into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate his accomplice, flight logs and movement logs, individuals mentioned or identified in association with his crimes, organizations that were linked to his trafficking or money operations, immunity deals and additional legal settlements, official correspondence about charging decisions, documentation of his confinement and death, and details about any file deletions.

The agency will have thirty days to submit the files. The measure includes specific exclusions, encompassing redactions of confidential victim data or individual documents, any depictions of child sexual abuse, releases that would jeopardize active investigations or court proceedings and depictions of fatality or abuse.
