Chief Executive Endorses Bill to Make Public Additional Epstein Documents After Months of Pushback
The US leader announced on Wednesday night that he had endorsed the legislation decisively approved by American lawmakers that mandates the federal justice agency to release more records related to Jeffrey Epstein, the dead sex offender.
This decision comes after weeks of resistance from the leader and his backers in the legislature that divided his Maga base and generated conflicts with various established backers.
Donald Trump had fought against disclosing the related records, calling the matter a "hoax" and condemning those who attempted to publish the records accessible, notwithstanding vowing their publication on the campaign trail.
But he reversed course in the past few days after it become clear the House of Representatives would approve the legislation. Trump commented: "There are no secrets".
The details are unknown what the justice department will make public in response to the measure – the legislation outlines a host of possible documents that need to be disclosed, but includes exemptions for specific records.

The legislation calls for the top justice official to make non-classified Epstein-connected files publicly available "available for online access", including every inquiry into Epstein, his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, flight logs and travel records, individuals mentioned or identified in connection with his illegal activities, organizations that were linked to his exploitation or economic systems, immunity deals and further court deals, internal communications about prosecution choices, records of his detention and passing, and details about any file deletions.
The agency will have thirty days to turn over the files. The bill includes specific exclusions, including redactions of personal details of victims or individual documents, any depictions of child sexual abuse, releases that would jeopardize ongoing inquiries or prosecutions and depictions of fatality or mistreatment.
