Donald Trump stated on late Wednesday that he had approved the measure resoundingly passed by US legislators that mandates the Department of Justice to disclose more records related to the deceased financier, the dead pedophile.
The move follows months of pushback from the president and his political allies in the legislature that divided his political supporters and created rifts with some of his longtime supporters.
Donald Trump had fought against making public the related records, labeling the issue a "fabrication" and condemning those who sought to release the files available, even though vowing their publication on the political campaign.
But he reversed course in recent days after it become clear the House would approve the measure. Donald Trump commented: "There are no secrets".
The details are unknown what the justice department will make public in response to the bill – the measure details a variety of possible documents that need to be disclosed, but includes exemptions for specific records.
The measure requires the top justice official to make non-classified Epstein-connected files accessible to the public "available for online access", covering each examination into Epstein, his colleague Maxwell, flight logs and travel records, individuals referenced or named in association with his crimes, entities that were connected with his trafficking or financial networks, immunity deals and further court deals, internal communications about charging decisions, documentation of his imprisonment and death, and information about potential document destruction.
The agency will have 30 days to submit the documents. The measure includes certain exemptions, such as deletions of personal details of victims or individual documents, any representations of youth molestation, releases that would endanger active investigations or court proceedings and depictions of demise or exploitation.
