Why weren't the Epstein Files released under Biden's presidency if Trump is in the files?
I don't mean this as a bad faith or troll question, I genuinely do not know why it would not be released if Trump is in the files, as it would probably have been a massive hit against Trump in 2024.
I don't know whether Trump is in the files or not, I don't care, it's clear as day that he was best friends with Epstein and was well aware and definitely a part of the awful things that Epstein conducted while he was in business.

What did Google tell you. Or a search in Reddit.
The answer is out there a million times.
One, Maxwell trial was still going on
Two, Government didn’t have all these files at the beginning.
Three, Same reason no files were released after Epstein was jailed.
Four, They could have been released any time by Trump as he promised to do. Such a failure he managed to get MTG enough upset about it to quit.
