The US leader stated on late Wednesday that he had signed the bill resoundingly approved by US legislators that instructs the Department of Justice to release more documents concerning the deceased financier, the late child sexual abuser.

The move comes after weeks of pushback from the leader and his supporters in the House and Senate that fractured his core constituency and caused divisions with certain loyal followers.

Trump had opposed disclosing the Epstein documents, labeling the matter a "hoax" and railing against those who sought to release the documents public, notwithstanding promising their disclosure on the election circuit.

But he altered his position in recent days after it became apparent the House would pass the measure. Donald Trump stated: "We have nothing to hide".

It's not clear what the department will disclose in as a result of the legislation – the measure specifies a range of potential items that need to be disclosed, but includes exemptions for certain documents.

Donald Trump Approves Measure to Force Release of Additional Jeffrey Epstein Documents

The bill requires the attorney general to make public Epstein-related files publicly available "in a searchable and downloadable format", covering each examination into Epstein, his associate his accomplice, aircraft records and movement logs, people cited or listed in relation to his crimes, entities that were connected with his exploitation or economic systems, protection agreements and additional legal settlements, organizational messages about charging decisions, documentation of his imprisonment and demise, and particulars about possible record elimination.

The department will have one month to provide the documents. The legislation contains specific exclusions, such as deletions of confidential victim data or personal files, any depictions of minor exploitation, disclosures that would endanger ongoing inquiries or prosecutions and representations of death or abuse.
