Donald Trump announced on late Wednesday that he had endorsed the bill overwhelmingly passed by American lawmakers that directs the justice department to release more documents regarding the convicted sex offender, the dead sex offender.

This action comes after weeks of resistance from the president and his political allies in the legislature that divided his core constituency and generated conflicts with various established backers.

Donald Trump had resisted disclosing the Epstein files, calling the situation a "fabrication" and railing against those who attempted to publish the documents public, even though pledging their release on the election circuit.

But he reversed course in the past few days after it become clear the House would pass the measure. The president commented: "Everything is transparent".

The specifics remain uncertain what the agency will disclose in as a result of the measure – the measure details a variety of potential items that must be released, but includes exemptions for some materials.

The measure calls for the top justice official to make public Epstein-related files open for review "in a searchable and downloadable format", encompassing all investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate his accomplice, flight logs and movement logs, individuals cited or listed in relation to his offenses, institutions that were linked to his human trafficking or economic systems, immunity deals and additional legal settlements, official correspondence about prosecution choices, documentation of his confinement and death, and information about potential document destruction.

The justice department will have 30 days to turn over the records. The measure includes some exceptions, such as removals of victims' identifying information or private records, any descriptions of child sexual abuse, disclosures that would endanger current examinations or court proceedings and representations of death or abuse.
