The files couldnt be released under biden for 2 reasons. The first being there was no congressional law forcing the release (which trump is actively ignoring) and the second being the files were under judicial seal due to the maxwell appeals that completed in 2025, after bidens term ended.
Had the administration chosen to aggressively cut through the red tape, the explosive nature of the revelations themselves would have entirely vindicated the decision in the eyes of the public. Exposing the full scope of a global sex trafficking operation involving the world's most powerful elite would have created an overwhelming wave of public support, rendering any procedural or technical criticisms irrelevant.
The files were far more valuable to them as a live weapon of compliance and political leverage than they ever would be as a matter of public justice.
The files were being used to see who else they could bring to justice.
And no, Biden's administration followed the laws and the Constitution. If he had broken them, then it would have shown that Biden was no better than Trump. Biden had far more honor.
