Donald Trump had opposed making public the related records, calling the issue a "false narrative" and condemning those who wanted to make the documents public, notwithstanding pledging their publication on the election circuit.

But he altered his position in the past few days after it become clear the House of Representatives would endorse the legislation. Donald Trump said: "We have nothing to hide".

It's not clear what the justice department will disclose in as a result of the legislation – the legislation details a range of possible documents that must be released, but includes exemptions for some materials.
