Donald Trump stated on Wednesday night that he had signed the legislation overwhelmingly passed by Congress members that directs the federal justice agency to disclose more documents concerning Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased sex offender.

The move follows an extended period of opposition from the leader and his political allies in the legislature that divided his political supporters and generated conflicts with various established backers.

Trump had resisted disclosing the Epstein documents, labeling the matter a "false narrative" and railing against those who wanted to make the files available, even though pledging their release on the election circuit.

Nevertheless he altered his position in the last week after it become clear the House would endorse the legislation. The president commented: "Everything is transparent".

The details are unknown what the justice department will disclose in following the bill – the measure details a variety of potential items that should be made public, but provides exceptions for some materials.

The bill calls for the top justice official to make unclassified Epstein-related documents accessible to the public "in an easily accessible digital format", including all investigations into Epstein, his associate his accomplice, flight logs and travel records, individuals mentioned or identified in connection with his crimes, entities that were connected with his trafficking or financial networks, exemption arrangements and additional legal settlements, internal communications about prosecution choices, evidence of his detention and passing, and particulars about potential document destruction.

The justice department will have one month to provide the records. The legislation contains certain exemptions, such as redactions of personal details of victims or personal files, any descriptions of minor exploitation, publications that would endanger active investigations or legal cases and descriptions of demise or exploitation.
