You want people to tell the truth to government investigations in the future, and not hold something back because they think in 15 years the government might just release a transcript of everything you told them.

He probably already knows, because, well, ya know
Trump, a sexual offender known to grab pussies of random women, had a relationship with Epstein. Yeah, unless his dementia worsens even more he's not going to release those files.
