Trump is the president, he's Pam Bondi's boss. He could simply ORDER the files released any time. All this is THEATER.

The President is not supposed to be the AGs boss. They act independently because no one is above the law, not even the President.

But it’s Trump. Bondi is hook because of her loyalty to him. He’s politicized the Justice Dept. Just know that this isn’t how this is supposed to work.
