President Endorses Bill to Make Public Additional Epstein Records After Period of Resistance
The US leader stated on Wednesday evening that he had approved the measure decisively passed by American lawmakers that directs the justice department to make public more records regarding the deceased financier, the deceased pedophile.
This action follows an extended period of pushback from the leader and his political allies in the House and Senate that split his Maga base and generated conflicts with some of his longtime supporters.
The president had opposed releasing the related records, labeling the situation a "hoax" and railing against those who sought to release the records accessible, notwithstanding vowing their disclosure on the campaign trail.
However he altered his position in the last week after it become clear the House would approve the measure. Trump said: "We have nothing to hide".
It's not clear what the justice department will disclose in as a result of the bill – the measure outlines a host of potential items that need to be disclosed, but includes exemptions for certain documents.
