Chief Executive Signs Measure to Disclose Further Epstein Records Following Months of Opposition

Donald Trump announced on Wednesday evening that he had endorsed the measure resoundingly endorsed by Congress members that directs the Department of Justice to disclose more documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased pedophile.

Nevertheless he reversed course in recent days after it become clear the House would endorse the bill. Donald Trump commented: "There are no secrets".

It's not clear what the department will make public in as a result of the bill – the measure specifies a variety of various records that should be made public, but allows exclusions for specific records.

The legislation mandates the attorney general to make non-classified Epstein-connected files accessible to the public "available for online access", including every inquiry into Epstein, his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, aircraft records and journey documentation, persons cited or listed in association with his crimes, institutions that were linked to his trafficking or economic systems, protection agreements and additional legal settlements, official correspondence about prosecution choices, records of his imprisonment and passing, and details about possible record elimination.

The justice department will have one month to provide the files. The measure includes some exceptions, including redactions of victims' identifying information or private records, any depictions of youth molestation, publications that would jeopardize active investigations or court proceedings and representations of death or mistreatment.
