Donald Trump declared on late Wednesday that he had endorsed the measure resoundingly approved by Congress members that instructs the justice department to make public more documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, the late pedophile.

This decision arrives after weeks of opposition from the president and his supporters in the legislature that fractured his political supporters and generated conflicts with certain loyal followers.

The president had resisted releasing the Epstein documents, labeling the situation a "fabrication" and railing against those who wanted to make the documents public, notwithstanding vowing their publication on the campaign trail.

Nevertheless he altered his position in the last week after it was evident the House would endorse the measure. The president commented: "Everything is transparent".

The details are unknown what the justice department will make public in following the legislation – the measure outlines a host of possible documents that should be made public, but allows exclusions for specific records.

Trump Signs Measure to Compel Publication of Additional the financier Records

The legislation mandates the chief law enforcement officer to make public related files accessible to the public "available for online access", covering every inquiry into Epstein, his colleague Ghislaine Maxwell, travel documentation and travel records, persons cited or listed in connection with his offenses, entities that were tied to his trafficking or financial networks, protection agreements and additional legal settlements, internal communications about prosecution choices, documentation of his detention and demise, and details about potential document destruction.

The department will have one month to provide the files. The measure includes certain exemptions, such as removals of confidential victim data or personal files, any descriptions of youth molestation, disclosures that would endanger current examinations or court proceedings and depictions of fatality or mistreatment.
