The President announced on Wednesday evening that he had signed the measure overwhelmingly endorsed by US legislators that instructs the justice department to make public more files related to the deceased financier, the dead sex offender.

The move follows months of opposition from the chief executive and his supporters in Congress that divided his core constituency and caused divisions with various established backers.

Donald Trump had resisted releasing the related records, labeling the matter a "false narrative" and railing against those who sought to release the records accessible, despite pledging their publication on the campaign trail.

However he reversed course in the past few days after it become clear the legislative chamber would endorse the measure. Donald Trump commented: "We have nothing to hide".

The specifics remain uncertain what the justice department will disclose in response to the measure – the bill outlines a range of various records that must be released, but provides exceptions for specific records.

Donald Trump Signs Bill to Compel Release of More Jeffrey Epstein Files

The bill mandates the attorney general to make unclassified Epstein-connected records open for review "available for online access", including all investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, his colleague Maxwell, flight logs and travel records, people referenced or named in connection with his illegal activities, institutions that were tied to his trafficking or economic systems, exemption arrangements and further court deals, organizational messages about charging decisions, records of his imprisonment and demise, and information about possible record elimination.

The justice department will have thirty days to provide the documents. The measure provides for specific exclusions, encompassing redactions of confidential victim data or personal files, any descriptions of minor exploitation, publications that would endanger current examinations or legal cases and descriptions of fatality or abuse.
