The US leader announced on late Wednesday that he had signed the bill resoundingly approved by US legislators that instructs the justice department to make public more documents concerning the deceased financier, the late sex offender.

The move follows an extended period of opposition from the president and his political allies in the House and Senate that divided his Maga base and generated conflicts with certain loyal followers.

The president had opposed making public the related records, calling the situation a "false narrative" and condemning those who sought to release the records accessible, despite vowing their publication on the campaign trail.

Nevertheless he reversed course in the past few days after it was evident the House would approve the bill. The president stated: "Everything is transparent".

The details are unknown what the department will make public in response to the bill – the legislation specifies a host of possible documents that should be made public, but provides exceptions for certain documents.

The measure calls for the chief law enforcement officer to make non-classified Epstein-connected files accessible to the public "in an easily accessible digital format", covering all investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, his colleague Maxwell, aircraft records and journey documentation, persons referenced or named in relation to his offenses, institutions that were linked to his human trafficking or economic systems, exemption arrangements and further court deals, organizational messages about charging decisions, evidence of his detention and death, and particulars about potential document destruction.

The department will have thirty days to turn over the records. The bill provides for some exceptions, including redactions of personal details of victims or private records, any depictions of youth molestation, disclosures that would endanger ongoing inquiries or prosecutions and depictions of death or mistreatment.
