Katie Johnson dropped all charges in 2016 and the Maxwell case finished in 2022, three years before President Bidens term ended.
There was more than enough time for the files to be released.
Why the Biden, or Harris campaigns didn't get the files released I will never understand, but it certainly wasn't because they ran out of time.
