Chief Executive Endorses Legislation to Disclose Additional Epstein Records After Months of Opposition
Donald Trump announced on Wednesday evening that he had signed the measure decisively passed by American lawmakers that instructs the justice department to make public more records related to the deceased financier, the deceased child sexual abuser.
The move comes after months of pushback from the leader and his political allies in the House and Senate that divided his political supporters and generated conflicts with various established backers.
The president had resisted making public the related records, calling the issue a "false narrative" and criticizing those who wanted to make the files available, despite vowing their release on the political campaign.
Nevertheless he altered his position in recent days after it become clear the legislative chamber would approve the bill. Donald Trump stated: "There are no secrets".
The details are unknown what the department will release in following the measure – the legislation details a host of possible documents that need to be disclosed, but provides exceptions for certain documents.

The legislation includes certain exemptions, including deletions of victims' identifying information or personal files, any depictions of child sexual abuse, releases that would jeopardize active investigations or legal cases and descriptions of demise or exploitation.
