The US leader declared on late Wednesday that he had signed the bill decisively endorsed by US legislators that instructs the justice department to make public more documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, the dead child sexual abuser.

This action arrives after months of resistance from the chief executive and his supporters in Congress that fractured his core constituency and caused divisions with certain loyal followers.

The president had resisted making public the related records, describing the situation a "fabrication" and condemning those who attempted to publish the files available, even though promising their disclosure on the election circuit.

Nevertheless he altered his position in recent days after it became apparent the legislative chamber would approve the legislation. Trump said: "There are no secrets".

The details are unknown what the agency will disclose in as a result of the legislation – the bill outlines a variety of possible documents that must be released, but includes exemptions for specific records.

Donald Trump Approves Measure to Force Release of Additional the financier Files

The measure mandates the top justice official to make non-classified related documents accessible to the public "in an easily accessible digital format", encompassing all investigations into Epstein, his associate Maxwell, flight logs and movement logs, individuals mentioned or identified in connection with his crimes, entities that were linked to his exploitation or economic systems, immunity deals and other plea agreements, official correspondence about prosecution choices, evidence of his imprisonment and passing, and details about potential document destruction.

The justice department will have thirty days to submit the files. The legislation provides for specific exclusions, including deletions of confidential victim data or private records, any depictions of minor exploitation, disclosures that would endanger current examinations or prosecutions and representations of demise or abuse.
