Donald Trump declared on Wednesday evening that he had approved the bill decisively endorsed by American lawmakers that directs the justice department to make public more records regarding the convicted sex offender, the deceased child sexual abuser.

The move arrives after an extended period of opposition from the chief executive and his backers in the House and Senate that split his political supporters and created rifts with various established backers.

The president had opposed making public the Epstein files, calling the matter a "hoax" and criticizing those who attempted to publish the records accessible, notwithstanding promising their release on the campaign trail.

However he reversed course in recent days after it was evident the House would pass the legislation. Donald Trump said: "We have nothing to hide".

The specifics remain uncertain what the department will make public in following the legislation – the legislation details a variety of various records that need to be disclosed, but allows exclusions for specific records.

Trump Endorses Measure to Compel Release of Further Jeffrey Epstein Files

The legislation mandates the top justice official to make non-classified related records accessible to the public "available for online access", covering all investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate his accomplice, aircraft records and movement logs, persons referenced or named in connection with his illegal activities, entities that were linked to his human trafficking or money operations, immunity deals and other plea agreements, organizational messages about charging decisions, records of his confinement and passing, and details about any file deletions.

The department will have thirty days to turn over the documents. The legislation provides for certain exemptions, including redactions of confidential victim data or personal files, any descriptions of minor exploitation, publications that would jeopardize current examinations or court proceedings and depictions of demise or abuse.
