President Donald Trump has signed a bill to release files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The President and senior Republicans initially resisted the disclosure, but eventually bowed to political pressure.

The legislation signed Wednesday, requires the Justice Department to disclose all files related to Epstein, including details about his death in federal prison in 2019.

The files must be released within 30 days, with some redactions allowed for ongoing investigations.
