Donald Trump declared on Wednesday evening that he had signed the legislation overwhelmingly passed by US legislators that instructs the federal justice agency to make public more records concerning the convicted sex offender, the deceased pedophile.

The move follows weeks of pushback from the leader and his political allies in the legislature that fractured his political supporters and caused divisions with certain loyal followers.

Donald Trump had fought against disclosing the Epstein files, describing the situation a "fabrication" and railing against those who wanted to make the documents public, even though promising their disclosure on the election circuit.

However he altered his position in the past few days after it was evident the House would pass the bill. Trump commented: "We have nothing to hide".

The details are unknown what the agency will release in as a result of the measure – the measure details a host of potential items that should be made public, but includes exemptions for certain documents.

The President Signs Bill to Force Release of More Jeffrey Epstein Files

The bill mandates the top justice official to make public Epstein-connected records open for review "available for online access", encompassing all investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate his accomplice, travel documentation and journey documentation, persons referenced or named in association with his offenses, institutions that were connected with his exploitation or economic systems, immunity deals and other plea agreements, internal communications about legal actions, records of his imprisonment and death, and particulars about possible record elimination.

The justice department will have thirty days to turn over the records. The measure includes some exceptions, including deletions of victims' identifying information or personal files, any descriptions of minor exploitation, publications that would endanger active investigations or prosecutions and descriptions of death or exploitation.
