By the time Biden took office in January 2021 Ghislaine Maxwell's trial preparations were underway. She was convicted and then filed appeals. That made it impossible for DOJ to release documents publicly.

Remember Obama nominated Garland instead of a young progressive in order to embarrass the Republicans.
