The US leader stated on late Wednesday that he had endorsed the bill overwhelmingly approved by American lawmakers that instructs the Department of Justice to make public more files regarding the deceased financier, the late sex offender.

This action follows months of resistance from the president and his supporters in the legislature that split his political supporters and caused divisions with various established backers.

The president had opposed disclosing the Epstein documents, describing the issue a "fabrication" and condemning those who attempted to publish the files available, despite vowing their release on the election circuit.

But he altered his position in recent days after it become clear the legislative chamber would endorse the measure. Trump commented: "There are no secrets".

It's not clear what the department will make public in following the measure – the bill specifies a host of various records that need to be disclosed, but includes exemptions for specific records.

The measure mandates the top justice official to make public Epstein-connected documents accessible to the public "available for online access", covering every inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate his accomplice, flight logs and travel records, people mentioned or identified in association with his crimes, institutions that were connected with his exploitation or money operations, immunity deals and additional legal settlements, official correspondence about prosecution choices, documentation of his imprisonment and passing, and information about any file deletions.

The department will have thirty days to turn over the files. The measure contains certain exemptions, including removals of victims' identifying information or private records, any depictions of youth molestation, disclosures that would compromise ongoing inquiries or prosecutions and depictions of fatality or exploitation.
