Nov. 19 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump on Wednesday night signed a bill that directs the U.S. Department of Justice to publicly release all files involving sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump posted on Truth Social: "I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES."

The Justice Department hasn't said how it would release the information, or if any of it would be delayed because of ongoing investigations.

On Wednesday, U.S. Senate formally approved the bill. The move was a formality, as the chamber approved the bill on Tuesday. The Senate unanimously approved the measure hours after the House voted 427-1 in favor of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
