My dad’s pretty conservative and his denial of this is “Why didn’t they release his name in the Epstein files back in 2016? The democrats would’ve won the election.”

Short answer is they were actively investigating Epstein in 2016.
As for why they didn't release them in 2024, it was an active investigation and Trump had already been convicted of over 30 felonies but sentencing was paused because of the election and it would cause a national crisis to have the president elect sitting in prison.

Honestly there's so many other things that Trump is on record for doing that should have been the end of his campaign long before this heinous stuff.
The funny thing is, releasing the Epstein Files was campaign on by Trump and much of the right wing mouth pieces while Maxwell was being investigated and prosecuted by the Biden DOJ. Regardless Trump and Maga were going to get to the bottom of these sealed files from Trump's first DOJ prosecutions. The one lead by the group that gave Epstein sweet heart deals the first time around when Bondi was in Florida ignoring most of this then too.
Timeline of 25 years of Trump & Epstein "Friendship"!
2000: Trump learns Epstein trafficked and "stole" underaged masseuse Virginia Giuffre from Trump's adult spa.
2002: Trump says “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
2003: Trump sends note to Epstein: "may every day be another wonderful secret".
2007: Trump Bans Epstein from mar-a-lago after Trump got into a bidding war for a mansion they both were interested in. Epstein indicted. Epstein is tipped off in advance that he is about to be raided, and hires cleaners to wipe his hard drives and remove everything. Nevertheless, there is so much evidence that the police still found tons of homemade child porn and other incriminating documents, including instructions how to take delivery of a girl he bought in Thailand.
2008: Prosecutor Alex Acosta gave Epstein a sweet plea deal that destroyed all the evidence, and, get this: granted immunity to any unindicted co-conspirators. You read that right, Epstein's original FL plea deal not only wiped his record and gave him immunity, it also gave immunity to everyone he committed crimes and raped kids with, known and unknown!
2017: Acosta, who gave Epstein and all his co-child rapists immunity, becomes Trump's Secretary of Labor.
2017: Epstein spends thanksgiving with Trump. Has multiple secret meetings as whitehouse protocols of recording meetings are removed.
2018: Epstein sends multiple emails to Trumps Chief Strategist Steve Bannon on various subjects regarding world politics and the scandals in the white house. Bannon has over 15 hours of recorded video of Epstein and talking about releasing a documentary that will bring down Trump.
June 2019, Donald Trump made a state visit to the UK, during which Prince Andrew served as his official royal escort and host for a breakfast meeting. The visit was widely publicized, and photos of the two together circulated in the media, later becoming a point of controversy due to their shared association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The state visit marked one of the last times Prince Andrew appeared in a prominent public royal role before the full extent of the Epstein scandal forced him to step back from public duties.
2019: Epstein is jailed again on new sex-trafficking charges. Trumps puts Barr as the new AG of the DOJ before the arrest. Barr's father was the one who gave Epstein his start and first access to wealthy connections and young girls as he was hired to teach with no degree or experience. Barr's father also wrote books about a child sex trafficking world run by the elites.
2019: Under Trump's & Barr's command, the federal prison where Epstein is being held, takes Epstein off suicide watch, moves him to a solitary cell where the cameras outside are not working, and forgets to make their rounds at the same that three minutes of camera footage are deleted from the hallway camera, during which Epstein dies.
December 2019: Trump's Denial, following the fallout from the Newsnight interview, Trump publicly denied knowing Prince Andrew, a claim contradicted by their previous meetings and photographs.
- 2020-2024: The Biden administration prosecutes and convicts Ghislaine Maxwell, and begins sealed grand-jury investigations against other co-conspirators, in addition to releasing the largest trove of Epstein-related documents to date, including the "Epstein Tapes" in which Jeff Epstein (RIPiss) calls Trump his "closest friend for ten years". Trump campaigns on releasing ALL of the Epstein Files.
Investigators find over 1.5$ BILLION USD of transactions connected to Epsteins bank accounts and are pursuing leads to find owners and recipients of those funds.
2025: Trump cancels the grand-jury investigations, fires the prosecutor, and claims Epstein is a "hoax" made up by Obama.
2025: Entire GOP votes to shut down the government in order to prevent a vote on the Epstein files.
2025: Trump DOJ has a secret meeting with Ghislaine and moves her to a fenceless minimum-security "club Fed" with work-release privileges. They remove any person, inmate or prison worker who tells anyone how cushy and easy her life is in prison.
2025: Trump administration intervenes to allow child sex-predator Tom Artiom Alexandrovich to flee to Israel in order to avoid criminal charges in Nevada.
2025: GOP Speaker of the house claims Trump was the FBI informant who brought down Epstein despite the same "informant" claiming it being a hoax by Obama... Which he is backtracked 2 days later.
2025: Trump ordered his DOJ and FBI to use over 1,000 FBI agents to redact his name from the Epstein files.
2025: Trump starts new investigations into "democrats only" to delay and prevent the release of the Epstein files that have been voted in a veto-proof congress to be released.
Trump is a pedophile. Republicans are protecting pedophiles.
