The US leader declared on late Wednesday that he had signed the bill decisively approved by US legislators that mandates the federal justice agency to release more records regarding Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased pedophile.

The move follows an extended period of opposition from the chief executive and his supporters in the legislature that split his core constituency and generated conflicts with various established backers.

Trump had opposed disclosing the Epstein files, describing the situation a "fabrication" and railing against those who wanted to make the files available, notwithstanding vowing their release on the campaign trail.

But he changed direction in the past few days after it was evident the House of Representatives would endorse the bill. Trump said: "There are no secrets".

The details are unknown what the department will make public in following the measure – the bill details a range of possible documents that must be released, but allows exclusions for certain documents.

The President Endorses Measure to Force Publication of More Epstein Files

The measure calls for the top justice official to make public Epstein-connected records accessible to the public "available for online access", including every inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein, his colleague his accomplice, aircraft records and travel records, people referenced or named in relation to his illegal activities, institutions that were linked to his human trafficking or money operations, exemption arrangements and further court deals, official correspondence about prosecution choices, records of his imprisonment and demise, and particulars about potential document destruction.

The justice department will have one month to submit the records. The legislation contains certain exemptions, encompassing redactions of personal details of victims or private records, any depictions of youth molestation, disclosures that would compromise active investigations or prosecutions and depictions of demise or exploitation.
