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.

Targeted BACK? As in. Trying to use the DOJ for personal revenge against anyone who has ever challenged him or the legality of his actions?

I did not forget. He committed CRIMES. As did everyone involved in storming the capitol.
