SO it REALL DOES have quite a bit to do with Obama and Biden... because if it were true that Trump was blocking the documents to hide his OWN involvement... then why didn't Obama and Biden release the documents?
I mean seems like a sure fire way to take down Trump prior to 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections...
And that only indicates one thing... there's nothing in the documents that substantially harms Trump.
But it probably will harm Israel.

Because no one was doing anything about Epstein until November 2018 when the Miami Herald revisits the handling of Epstein’s case in a series of stories focusing partly on the role of Acosta — who by this point is President Donald Trump’s labor secretary — in arranging his unusual plea deal. The coverage renews public interest in the case.
I’m not claiming that Trump had anything to do with epstein’s crimes. I am saying that the political establishment in Florida and in Washington took this man’s money and refused to treat him like the sex offender he was.
Here’s a good page that shows the timeline of events.

November 2018: The Miami Herald revisits the handling of Epstein’s case in a series of stories focusing partly on the role of Acosta — who by this point is President Donald Trump’s labor secretary — in arranging his unusual plea deal. The coverage renews public interest in the case.
July 6, 2019: Epstein is arrested on federal sex trafficking charges after federal prosecutors in New York conclude they aren’t bound by the terms of the earlier non-prosecution deal. Days later, Acosta resigns as labor secretary amid public outrage over his role in the initial investigation.
Aug. 10, 2019: Guards find Epstein dead in his cell at a federal jail in New York City. Investigators conclude he killed himself.
July 2, 2020: Federal prosecutors in New York charge Ghislaine Maxwell with sex crimes, saying she helped recruit the underage girls that Epstein sexually abused and sometimes participated in the abuse herself.
Dec. 30, 2021: After a monthlong trial, a jury convicts Maxwell of multiple charges, including sex trafficking, conspiracy and transportation of a minor for illegal sexual activity.
June 28, 2022: Maxwell is sentenced to 20 years in prison.
January 2024: Public interest in the Epstein case surges after a judge unseals thousands of pages of court records in a civil lawsuit involving one of his victims. Almost all of the information was already public and the dayslong document dump proves disappointing to people who hoped it would spill new secrets about wrongdoing by the rich and powerful. But it fuels demands for even more records to be made public.
2024: Trump, who was in office when Epstein was arrested, suggests during the presidential campaign that he’d seek to open the government’s Epstein files.
February 2025: Attorney General Pam Bondi suggests in a Fox News Channel interview that an Epstein “client list” is sitting on her desk. The Justice Department distributes binders marked “declassified” to far-right influencers at the White House, but it quickly becomes clear much of the information had long been in the public domain.
July 7, 2025: The Justice Department says Epstein didn’t maintain a “client list” and it won’t make any more files related to his sex trafficking investigation public.
July 17, 2025: The Wall Street Journal describes a sexually suggestive letter that the newspaper says bore Trump’s name and was included in a 2003 album for Epstein’s 50th birthday. Trump denies writing the letter, calling it “false, malicious, and defamatory.” The next day Trump sues the paper and media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
July 18, 2025: The Trump administration asks a federal court to unseal grand jury transcripts related to Epstein’s case in an effort to put a political crisis to rest.
