Donald Trump declared on Wednesday evening that he had approved the measure decisively passed by Congress members that instructs the Department of Justice to release more records related to the deceased financier, the dead child sexual abuser.

This decision follows months of pushback from the chief executive and his backers in the legislature that split his political supporters and created rifts with some of his longtime supporters.

Trump had fought against releasing the Epstein documents, calling the matter a "hoax" and railing against those who attempted to publish the records accessible, notwithstanding pledging their disclosure on the political campaign.

However he altered his position in the last week after it became apparent the House of Representatives would pass the measure. The president stated: "There are no secrets".

It's not clear what the department will disclose in response to the legislation – the bill details a variety of possible documents that need to be disclosed, but provides exceptions for certain documents.

The President Signs Legislation to Compel Disclosure of More Jeffrey Epstein Records

The measure calls for the attorney general to make non-classified Epstein-related records publicly available "in a searchable and downloadable format", including every inquiry into Epstein, his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, flight logs and journey documentation, people referenced or named in connection with his illegal activities, institutions that were linked to his exploitation or money operations, exemption arrangements and further court deals, internal communications about prosecution choices, evidence of his confinement and demise, and particulars about potential document destruction.

The justice department will have thirty days to provide the documents. The legislation includes certain exemptions, including deletions of personal details of victims or personal files, any depictions of youth molestation, publications that would compromise ongoing inquiries or court proceedings and descriptions of demise or abuse.
