Donald Trump stated on Wednesday evening that he had approved the legislation overwhelmingly approved by American lawmakers that instructs the justice department to make public more documents related to the convicted sex offender, the dead child sexual abuser.

This action follows months of resistance from the leader and his supporters in Congress that divided his political supporters and created rifts with some of his longtime supporters.

Trump had opposed disclosing the Epstein documents, describing the issue a "hoax" and criticizing those who wanted to make the documents public, despite vowing their publication on the political campaign.

However he altered his position in the last week after it became apparent the House would pass the legislation. Donald Trump stated: "We have nothing to hide".

The details are unknown what the department will make public in response to the bill – the legislation details a host of possible documents that must be released, but provides exceptions for specific records.

The President Approves Bill to Compel Release of Additional the financier Files

The legislation calls for the chief law enforcement officer to make public Epstein-connected files accessible to the public "available for online access", covering each examination into Epstein, his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, aircraft records and movement logs, people mentioned or identified in association with his illegal activities, institutions that were linked to his trafficking or money operations, exemption arrangements and further court deals, organizational messages about charging decisions, records of his confinement and passing, and information about any file deletions.

The justice department will have one month to turn over the records. The bill includes some exceptions, such as deletions of personal details of victims or personal files, any descriptions of child sexual abuse, releases that would jeopardize ongoing inquiries or legal cases and representations of death or exploitation.
