Nevertheless he reversed course in the past few days after it become clear the House would endorse the measure. Trump stated: "We have nothing to hide".
The details are unknown what the department will disclose in response to the bill – the legislation details a range of possible documents that should be made public, but includes exemptions for some materials.
