10. If that's the case why didn't the Biden administration release the files?

I've gone back and forth over my thoughts on the Epstein files. I suspect the files contain damaging information about Trump and mostly Trump. That's all Trump cares about.

It's interesting to me how as the Epstein file controversy has heated up, Trump has completely changed his position on Ukraine. To the point that I think we are on the edge of a major Russia/NATO conflict. Why has Trump changed his mind on Ukraine? That's the part that puzzles me. And the timing of it.

And it could just be coincidence. But Trump rarely multitasks. Is support of Ukraine part of the deal with congress to keep the files under wraps?
