A lot of Trump voters are into the conspiracy theories around Epstein, and a few months ago the DOJ made a big deal of giving some right-wing influencers "phase one" of the Epstein files, which turned out to be mostly stuff that was already out. Last month, the DOJ and FBI put out a memo saying that no more documents will be released and that there is no Epstein client list, despite the Attorney General previously saying it was on her desk. MAGA didn't take that well, and Trump has been trying very hard to distract people from it.
