The President announced on Wednesday night that he had endorsed the legislation resoundingly endorsed by American lawmakers that directs the justice department to release more records related to the deceased financier, the deceased sex offender.

This action follows an extended period of pushback from the president and his political allies in the House and Senate that fractured his political supporters and generated conflicts with some of his longtime supporters.

Trump had opposed making public the related records, describing the situation a "hoax" and railing against those who attempted to publish the files available, despite promising their release on the campaign trail.

However he changed direction in the past few days after it become clear the House of Representatives would pass the bill. Trump said: "We have nothing to hide".

It's not clear what the agency will release in following the legislation – the legislation specifies a range of possible documents that should be made public, but includes exemptions for certain documents.

The measure calls for the attorney general to make public related documents accessible to the public "available for online access", encompassing all investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, flight logs and travel records, persons mentioned or identified in association with his offenses, institutions that were linked to his trafficking or economic systems, protection agreements and further court deals, official correspondence about charging decisions, documentation of his detention and demise, and information about possible record elimination.

The justice department will have thirty days to provide the files. The bill includes certain exemptions, encompassing redactions of victims' identifying information or personal files, any representations of minor exploitation, releases that would jeopardize active investigations or prosecutions and representations of death or mistreatment.
