Donald Trump declared on Wednesday evening that he had signed the bill decisively approved by American lawmakers that instructs the justice department to release more files concerning the convicted sex offender, the dead pedophile.
The move comes after weeks of pushback from the chief executive and his backers in the legislature that fractured his political supporters and generated conflicts with various established backers.
Trump had resisted disclosing the related records, describing the situation a "false narrative" and condemning those who attempted to publish the files available, even though promising their release on the political campaign.
But he reversed course in recent days after it become clear the House would approve the legislation. Donald Trump commented: "There are no secrets".
The details are unknown what the department will disclose in following the bill – the measure specifies a range of various records that need to be disclosed, but provides exceptions for specific records.
The measure mandates the attorney general to make non-classified Epstein-related documents publicly available "in an easily accessible digital format", covering each examination into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate his accomplice, flight logs and travel records, people cited or listed in connection with his offenses, entities that were tied to his exploitation or money operations, immunity deals and further court deals, internal communications about prosecution choices, records of his confinement and demise, and information about any file deletions.
The agency will have thirty days to submit the files. The bill includes specific exclusions, including redactions of confidential victim data or individual documents, any depictions of youth molestation, disclosures that would compromise current examinations or prosecutions and descriptions of demise or exploitation.
