The President stated on Wednesday evening that he had endorsed the legislation overwhelmingly approved by American lawmakers that instructs the Department of Justice to disclose more documents related to the convicted sex offender, the late sex offender.

The move comes after weeks of opposition from the president and his political allies in the legislature that fractured his political supporters and created rifts with some of his longtime supporters.

Donald Trump had fought against making public the related records, calling the situation a "fabrication" and condemning those who attempted to publish the files available, notwithstanding vowing their publication on the campaign trail.

However he altered his position in the last week after it become clear the House would pass the measure. The president commented: "We have nothing to hide".

It's not clear what the justice department will release in following the legislation – the bill details a variety of potential items that need to be disclosed, but allows exclusions for certain documents.

Donald Trump Endorses Legislation to Require Disclosure of Additional Jeffrey Epstein Documents

The legislation mandates the top justice official to make unclassified Epstein-connected documents accessible to the public "in an easily accessible digital format", including all investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, travel documentation and movement logs, people cited or listed in connection with his offenses, organizations that were linked to his human trafficking or money operations, exemption arrangements and additional legal settlements, official correspondence about legal actions, evidence of his imprisonment and death, and particulars about any file deletions.

The justice department will have 30 days to submit the documents. The legislation contains certain exemptions, such as deletions of confidential victim data or individual documents, any descriptions of youth molestation, publications that would compromise current examinations or prosecutions and depictions of death or abuse.
