The politics of investigating Epstein

This really caught my eye:

Congressman Robert Garcia said:

"It wasn’t until then, 

when Oversight Democrats began their subpoena process 

and began pushing the issue forward, 

that things started moving forward."

Hello?

Joe Biden was President of the United States from January 20, 2021 until January 20, 2025.

Why did congressional Oversight Democrats not "[begin] their subpoena process" when Biden was president?

Why are they so hot and heavy after "the Epstein files" now, 

 when Donald Trump is president, but not before?

The partisan hypocrisy of the Democrats who now make such a big deal over these files 

(Garcia: "I’ve said from day one that this has been a White House cover-up."),

but didn't when a Democrat was president, 

is absolutely disgusting.

Background information:

When was Congressman Garcia's "then"?

Asking Google 

"when did Congress subpoena the Epstein files?"

yielded the following AI-generated response:

"The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform officially issued a subpoena to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for files related to Jeffrey Epstein on August 5, 2025."

Conspicuously after the presidency of Joe Biden.
