President Signs Measure to Make Public Additional Jeffrey Epstein Documents After Months of Opposition
The President announced on Wednesday evening that he had approved the measure overwhelmingly approved by Congress members that mandates the justice department to make public more records related to the deceased financier, the dead pedophile.
This action comes after an extended period of resistance from the leader and his political allies in the House and Senate that fractured his core constituency and generated conflicts with various established backers.
Trump had fought against releasing the related records, describing the matter a "false narrative" and railing against those who wanted to make the files available, notwithstanding pledging their release on the election circuit.
However he reversed course in the past few days after it become clear the House of Representatives would approve the bill. The president stated: "We have nothing to hide".
The specifics remain uncertain what the department will release in following the measure – the measure outlines a host of possible documents that should be made public, but includes exemptions for some materials.
