The President announced on Wednesday night that he had endorsed the legislation decisively passed by US legislators that directs the federal justice agency to release more files related to the deceased financier, the dead child sexual abuser.

The move arrives after weeks of pushback from the leader and his supporters in Congress that divided his Maga base and generated conflicts with certain loyal followers.

The president had resisted disclosing the Epstein documents, describing the issue a "hoax" and railing against those who sought to release the documents public, notwithstanding vowing their release on the election circuit.

Nevertheless he changed direction in the past few days after it was evident the House of Representatives would approve the legislation. Trump said: "We have nothing to hide".

It's not clear what the agency will disclose in response to the legislation – the bill details a range of potential items that need to be disclosed, but allows exclusions for specific records.

The legislation calls for the attorney general to make non-classified Epstein-connected documents publicly available "available for online access", covering all investigations into Epstein, his associate his accomplice, aircraft records and movement logs, individuals referenced or named in association with his offenses, organizations that were tied to his trafficking or money operations, protection agreements and additional legal settlements, official correspondence about charging decisions, evidence of his confinement and passing, and details about any file deletions.

The justice department will have 30 days to turn over the records. The bill contains specific exclusions, such as removals of personal details of victims or private records, any representations of minor exploitation, disclosures that would compromise current examinations or legal cases and depictions of fatality or abuse.
