The US leader declared on Wednesday night that he had signed the legislation overwhelmingly passed by US legislators that instructs the Department of Justice to make public more files concerning the convicted sex offender, the deceased pedophile.

This action comes after weeks of resistance from the president and his political allies in the House and Senate that split his political supporters and created rifts with certain loyal followers.

Trump had resisted disclosing the Epstein documents, describing the situation a "hoax" and criticizing those who wanted to make the files available, even though vowing their publication on the campaign trail.

Nevertheless he reversed course in the past few days after it become clear the House of Representatives would approve the bill. Trump said: "Everything is transparent".

It's not clear what the justice department will disclose in as a result of the measure – the measure details a range of various records that should be made public, but provides exceptions for specific records.

The measure mandates the attorney general to make public related files accessible to the public "in an easily accessible digital format", including each examination into Jeffrey Epstein, his colleague Ghislaine Maxwell, flight logs and movement logs, people mentioned or identified in relation to his crimes, entities that were tied to his exploitation or economic systems, protection agreements and further court deals, official correspondence about legal actions, documentation of his imprisonment and death, and details about possible record elimination.

The justice department will have 30 days to submit the records. The measure provides for certain exemptions, encompassing redactions of confidential victim data or private records, any depictions of child sexual abuse, publications that would endanger current examinations or legal cases and depictions of fatality or exploitation.
