7. The GOP talking point for months has been to ask why the Democrats never released the files

during the Biden administration. Ghislaine Maxwell had an appeal in the works that was only resolved in December of 2024 (she lost the appeal). And at that point Trump had won the election, and the DOJ was busy wrapping things up in the transition. Besides, the DOJ had an open investigation going against other names in the files which the Trump administration shut down as soon as he took office, as has been reported recently. So Trump’s about to blow their smart-ass talking point out of the water.

Not that it matters. No one’s going to talk about it except a few leftist podcasters.
