The US leader declared on late Wednesday that he had signed the measure overwhelmingly endorsed by US legislators that directs the justice department to disclose more documents regarding the deceased financier, the late child sexual abuser.

This decision arrives after weeks of resistance from the leader and his backers in Congress that divided his core constituency and created rifts with various established backers.

Trump had resisted releasing the Epstein documents, labeling the situation a "false narrative" and condemning those who sought to release the documents public, notwithstanding promising their publication on the political campaign.

However he changed direction in the past few days after it was evident the House would endorse the legislation. The president commented: "We have nothing to hide".

The specifics remain uncertain what the justice department will disclose in following the bill – the measure details a range of potential items that need to be disclosed, but allows exclusions for some materials.

Trump Approves Measure to Compel Release of Further Epstein Documents

The legislation requires the attorney general to make unclassified related files accessible to the public "in a searchable and downloadable format", encompassing all investigations into Epstein, his associate his accomplice, flight logs and journey documentation, individuals mentioned or identified in association with his illegal activities, institutions that were linked to his trafficking or money operations, exemption arrangements and further court deals, internal communications about charging decisions, documentation of his confinement and passing, and information about potential document destruction.

The agency will have thirty days to provide the documents. The legislation contains certain exemptions, including redactions of confidential victim data or personal files, any representations of child sexual abuse, disclosures that would endanger ongoing inquiries or court proceedings and descriptions of fatality or mistreatment.
