President Signs Measure to Release More Epstein Records After Months of Resistance

The US leader announced on Wednesday evening that he had signed the legislation resoundingly approved by Congress members that directs the federal justice agency to release more files concerning Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased sex offender.

This action follows weeks of opposition from the chief executive and his political allies in the House and Senate that divided his political supporters and created rifts with some of his longtime supporters.

The president had fought against making public the related records, describing the issue a "hoax" and railing against those who attempted to publish the records accessible, despite pledging their release on the political campaign.

But he altered his position in the past few days after it became apparent the legislative chamber would endorse the bill. Donald Trump said: "There are no secrets".

The details are unknown what the department will disclose in following the measure – the legislation details a range of various records that should be made public, but allows exclusions for some materials.

The legislation requires the attorney general to make unclassified related documents accessible to the public "in an easily accessible digital format", including each examination into Jeffrey Epstein, his associate Maxwell, flight logs and movement logs, persons referenced or named in relation to his offenses, institutions that were tied to his trafficking or economic systems, exemption arrangements and other plea agreements, organizational messages about legal actions, evidence of his confinement and demise, and details about potential document destruction.

The department will have one month to submit the records. The bill includes certain exemptions, including redactions of victims' identifying information or personal files, any representations of child sexual abuse, releases that would endanger ongoing inquiries or legal cases and descriptions of fatality or exploitation.
