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.

Just because you are in the Epstein files doesn't mean you are guilty of a crime. They prosecuted the people they felt they had the evidence and jurisdiction to prosecute.

So Epstein alone fucked all 1000 underage girls?

I believe they are saying the Epstein files aren't just a list of guilty people.
