The US leader declared on Wednesday night that he had endorsed the bill decisively passed by American lawmakers that directs the justice department to disclose more records concerning Jeffrey Epstein, the dead pedophile.

This action arrives after months of pushback from the president and his political allies in the legislature that split his Maga base and created rifts with various established backers.

Donald Trump had fought against disclosing the related records, describing the situation a "false narrative" and condemning those who wanted to make the records accessible, despite vowing their disclosure on the election circuit.

But he changed direction in recent days after it become clear the House of Representatives would pass the legislation. The president commented: "There are no secrets".

The specifics remain uncertain what the department will make public in response to the bill – the bill outlines a variety of potential items that must be released, but includes exemptions for some materials.

The President Endorses Legislation to Require Publication of More Epstein Documents

The bill calls for the chief law enforcement officer to make unclassified related records publicly available "in a searchable and downloadable format", covering each examination into Epstein, his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, flight logs and journey documentation, individuals mentioned or identified in relation to his illegal activities, institutions that were tied to his trafficking or money operations, exemption arrangements and further court deals, organizational messages about legal actions, documentation of his imprisonment and passing, and details about any file deletions.

The justice department will have one month to turn over the documents. The bill includes some exceptions, including redactions of victims' identifying information or individual documents, any descriptions of youth molestation, disclosures that would compromise current examinations or legal cases and descriptions of fatality or exploitation.
