Since you don’t want to hear that Biden releasing the Epstein files during his term would’ve looked like weaponizing the DOJ against Trump, here’s an answer you might…and I say this gently…grudgingly accept:

Under Biden, the DOJ was literally prosecuting Ghislaine Maxwell (convicted 2021, sentenced 2022) and navigating a minefield of ongoing civil suits from Epstein survivors.

Releasing sealed files back then could’ve:
-Violated court orders
-Jeopardized witness cooperation
-Been actual interference in active litigation

So Biden deferred to the courts. Legal caution, not conspiracy.

But now? Under Trump?

No major criminal cases. No active trial. No excuse. And yet, still no files.

Despite years of Trump & co. yelling about “transparency” and “just wait ’til we’re back.”

So, if the legal barriers are gone, ask yourself this question:

What’s the holdup?

Because the only thing standing in the way of releasing the Epstein files now…
is Trump.
