To me it seems like just "the current thing" that the media is accusing trump of. In his first term it was russaigate. If Trump was in the Epstein files in any meaningful way you think the Biden administration wouldn't have leaked it?

It depends how many others are implicated that they want to protect. I think the Biden administration were operating under the assumption that Trump was gone and on his way to irrelevance, a reasonable assumption at the time. Vindictively going after him when they had already “defeated” him was probably deemed unwise.
