The US leader announced on Wednesday evening that he had endorsed the measure decisively approved by American lawmakers that instructs the justice department to disclose more documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased pedophile.

The move comes after months of opposition from the leader and his supporters in the legislature that divided his political supporters and created rifts with certain loyal followers.

Donald Trump had fought against making public the related records, describing the situation a "fabrication" and criticizing those who attempted to publish the records accessible, notwithstanding promising their release on the political campaign.

Nevertheless he reversed course in the last week after it become clear the House of Representatives would endorse the measure. Trump stated: "Everything is transparent".

The specifics remain uncertain what the justice department will make public in response to the legislation – the bill specifies a range of potential items that should be made public, but provides exceptions for some materials.

The legislation mandates the attorney general to make non-classified Epstein-connected files publicly available "in a searchable and downloadable format", covering every inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein, his colleague Maxwell, aircraft records and travel records, people mentioned or identified in connection with his crimes, entities that were connected with his human trafficking or financial networks, protection agreements and further court deals, organizational messages about prosecution choices, evidence of his confinement and demise, and details about possible record elimination.

The department will have 30 days to provide the files. The bill contains specific exclusions, such as redactions of victims' identifying information or individual documents, any representations of minor exploitation, releases that would jeopardize ongoing inquiries or court proceedings and representations of demise or mistreatment.
