Chief Executive Signs Measure to Make Public More Epstein Files Following Period of Resistance
The President declared on Wednesday evening that he had approved the measure resoundingly approved by US legislators that directs the justice department to release more records regarding Jeffrey Epstein, the dead sex offender.
The move comes after an extended period of opposition from the president and his backers in the House and Senate that split his core constituency and caused divisions with certain loyal followers.
The president had fought against releasing the related records, describing the situation a "hoax" and railing against those who attempted to publish the records accessible, notwithstanding pledging their release on the campaign trail.
But he altered his position in the past few days after it was evident the House of Representatives would approve the measure. Donald Trump stated: "We have nothing to hide".
The details are unknown what the justice department will disclose in as a result of the bill – the bill specifies a host of various records that must be released, but includes exemptions for specific records.

The legislation requires the top justice official to make non-classified Epstein-connected records publicly available "available for online access", including all investigations into Epstein, his associate Maxwell, aircraft records and journey documentation, individuals cited or listed in association with his offenses, organizations that were linked to his exploitation or money operations, exemption arrangements and additional legal settlements, official correspondence about charging decisions, evidence of his detention and death, and particulars about any file deletions.
The department will have 30 days to submit the documents. The legislation provides for specific exclusions, including redactions of confidential victim data or individual documents, any depictions of minor exploitation, publications that would jeopardize current examinations or legal cases and representations of death or exploitation.
