Chief Executive Endorses Legislation to Make Public More Epstein Files Following Period of Pushback
Donald Trump stated on Wednesday night that he had endorsed the bill overwhelmingly passed by American lawmakers that mandates the justice department to disclose more records related to the convicted sex offender, the dead pedophile.
This action comes after weeks of pushback from the leader and his political allies in the legislature that fractured his Maga base and created rifts with some of his longtime supporters.
Donald Trump had opposed releasing the related records, calling the issue a "fabrication" and condemning those who attempted to publish the files available, despite vowing their release on the election circuit.
Nevertheless he altered his position in the last week after it become clear the legislative chamber would pass the bill. Trump commented: "We have nothing to hide".
The details are unknown what the justice department will make public in following the measure – the bill specifies a range of possible documents that should be made public, but provides exceptions for certain documents.
