The President declared on Wednesday evening that he had endorsed the bill resoundingly approved by American lawmakers that directs the Department of Justice to release more records related to the deceased financier, the deceased pedophile.

The move comes after months of opposition from the president and his political allies in the House and Senate that divided his political supporters and generated conflicts with certain loyal followers.

Trump had opposed disclosing the Epstein files, calling the situation a "false narrative" and railing against those who wanted to make the documents public, even though vowing their publication on the election circuit.

However he reversed course in the past few days after it become clear the House of Representatives would approve the measure. Donald Trump commented: "There are no secrets".

The specifics remain uncertain what the department will disclose in as a result of the bill – the measure details a range of possible documents that must be released, but provides exceptions for specific records.

Donald Trump Endorses Bill to Force Release of Further Jeffrey Epstein Files

The measure calls for the top justice official to make public Epstein-related files publicly available "in a searchable and downloadable format", including all investigations into Epstein, his colleague Ghislaine Maxwell, aircraft records and journey documentation, individuals referenced or named in association with his crimes, organizations that were connected with his human trafficking or money operations, protection agreements and other plea agreements, internal communications about prosecution choices, evidence of his confinement and passing, and information about potential document destruction.

The justice department will have 30 days to provide the files. The measure provides for certain exemptions, such as deletions of victims' identifying information or individual documents, any descriptions of youth molestation, disclosures that would compromise active investigations or court proceedings and representations of death or mistreatment.
