7. Why wasn't Epstein arrested until 2 1/2 years into Trump's term?

Of course he died just over a month after he was arrested.

Conversely, if he was killed to shut him up, why wasn't it done before he was arrested? It seems to me it would have been easier to kill him outside of prison. Note: I do believe it was at least slightly more likely that he was murdered rather than committed suicide, but both theories raise plenty of questions without any obvious answers.
