The President stated on Wednesday evening that he had signed the legislation decisively endorsed by Congress members that instructs the Department of Justice to disclose more files related to Jeffrey Epstein, the dead child sexual abuser.

This decision comes after an extended period of resistance from the leader and his political allies in the House and Senate that divided his political supporters and created rifts with some of his longtime supporters.

Trump had resisted disclosing the Epstein documents, labeling the matter a "hoax" and condemning those who wanted to make the files available, even though pledging their publication on the election circuit.

But he altered his position in the last week after it was evident the legislative chamber would endorse the measure. The president commented: "There are no secrets".

It's not clear what the justice department will make public in response to the legislation – the bill outlines a variety of possible documents that should be made public, but includes exemptions for specific records.

The President Signs Measure to Compel Release of More Epstein Files

The measure calls for the attorney general to make unclassified Epstein-connected files publicly available "in a searchable and downloadable format", covering all investigations into Epstein, his associate his accomplice, aircraft records and travel records, people mentioned or identified in association with his offenses, institutions that were linked to his human trafficking or financial networks, protection agreements and additional legal settlements, organizational messages about legal actions, evidence of his detention and demise, and details about any file deletions.

The department will have one month to provide the records. The measure provides for some exceptions, such as redactions of personal details of victims or individual documents, any depictions of child sexual abuse, releases that would endanger current examinations or legal cases and depictions of death or mistreatment.
