Chief Executive Approves Measure to Make Public Further Jeffrey Epstein Files Following Months of Resistance
Donald Trump stated on late Wednesday that he had approved the bill decisively endorsed by US legislators that mandates the federal justice agency to disclose more records related to the convicted sex offender, the dead child sexual abuser.
This action arrives after weeks of resistance from the president and his supporters in the legislature that divided his Maga base and created rifts with some of his longtime supporters.
The president had resisted disclosing the related records, calling the situation a "false narrative" and criticizing those who attempted to publish the documents public, despite vowing their release on the political campaign.
Nevertheless he reversed course in recent days after it was evident the legislative chamber would approve the measure. Trump said: "There are no secrets".
The details are unknown what the justice department will release in response to the bill – the bill details a host of various records that need to be disclosed, but includes exemptions for some materials.
Trump Signs Measure to Require Disclosure of Further Jeffrey Epstein Documents
The bill requires the top justice official to make non-classified Epstein-related files accessible to the public "in an easily accessible digital format", including each examination into Epstein, his colleague his accomplice, aircraft records and journey documentation, persons cited or listed in connection with his illegal activities, organizations that were tied to his human trafficking or financial networks, exemption arrangements and further court deals, organizational messages about prosecution choices, evidence of his confinement and demise, and particulars about possible record elimination.
The agency will have thirty days to submit the documents. The bill provides for specific exclusions, encompassing redactions of victims' identifying information or private records, any representations of minor exploitation, disclosures that would compromise ongoing inquiries or legal cases and depictions of death or mistreatment.
