It's no surprise that Trump wants to release Epstein's government documents before those of JFK, RFK, and MLK. In main stream media, Epstein is a bad guy to just about everyone. If you can't release Deep State documents about him, you can't release anything of interest from the Deep State.
And, sure enough, the Deep State is fighting it. NYC, being the biggest city, has the biggest FBI branch office. And that is where the problem starts. Trump's reigning in of the FBI starts there.
