The US leader declared on Wednesday night that he had endorsed the legislation resoundingly approved by Congress members that instructs the Department of Justice to release more documents regarding the deceased financier, the late pedophile.

The move comes after weeks of opposition from the chief executive and his supporters in the legislature that divided his core constituency and caused divisions with various established backers.

The president had opposed disclosing the Epstein files, calling the issue a "false narrative" and condemning those who attempted to publish the files available, despite pledging their release on the campaign trail.

But he altered his position in recent days after it was evident the House would pass the legislation. The president commented: "We have nothing to hide".

The details are unknown what the justice department will make public in following the bill – the bill details a variety of possible documents that should be made public, but includes exemptions for specific records.

The legislation calls for the chief law enforcement officer to make public Epstein-related records open for review "in an easily accessible digital format", encompassing every inquiry into Epstein, his associate his accomplice, aircraft records and movement logs, individuals mentioned or identified in connection with his offenses, organizations that were connected with his trafficking or money operations, immunity deals and additional legal settlements, organizational messages about legal actions, records of his imprisonment and demise, and particulars about possible record elimination.

The justice department will have thirty days to turn over the documents. The bill contains certain exemptions, such as redactions of personal details of victims or individual documents, any depictions of child sexual abuse, publications that would compromise active investigations or legal cases and representations of death or abuse.
