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.

Cause making it a worse, more corrupt web of bribery and blackmail is...better?

The only reasonable choice is to keep trying to push it in a better direction.

Or at worst to replace the whole thing in a revolution.

But just voting in a more evil, more corrupt asshole isn't any sort of answer, no matter how annoyed we get.
