🔗 Share this article Chief Executive Endorses Bill to Disclose More Epstein Records After Months of Opposition Donald Trump announced on late Wednesday that he had approved the bill decisively approved by US legislators that directs the justice department to disclose more files regarding Jeffrey Epstein, the late pedophile. The move arrives after weeks of pushback from the chief executive and his supporters in the legislature that split his core constituency and generated conflicts with certain loyal followers. Trump had fought against disclosing the Epstein files, labeling the matter a "hoax" and railing against those who sought to release the records accessible, even though pledging their release on the political campaign. Nevertheless he changed direction in recent days after it was evident the House of Representatives would pass the legislation. The president commented: "We have nothing to hide". It's not clear what the justice department will make public in following the legislation – the legislation specifies a variety of potential items that should be made public, but allows exclusions for certain documents. Trump Signs Legislation to Require Disclosure of Additional the financier Records The bill requires the chief law enforcement officer to make non-classified Epstein-connected documents open for review "in a searchable and downloadable format", including all investigations into Epstein, his associate his accomplice, travel documentation and travel records, people mentioned or identified in association with his illegal activities, institutions that were linked to his human trafficking or financial networks, exemption arrangements and further court deals, internal communications about charging decisions, records of his imprisonment and death, and particulars about potential document destruction. The department will have 30 days to turn over the files. The measure provides for some exceptions, such as deletions of victims' identifying information or personal files, any descriptions of child sexual abuse, releases that would jeopardize active investigations or legal cases and depictions of death or exploitation.
