Americans blocked from Epstein information moments after secret paperwork are launched

The Department of Justice has released a large number of the Epstein files, but Americans have already been blocked from accessing them because of network issues.

The files the DOJ released Friday afternoon were made public following a roughly hour-long delay in the court-mandated deadline to unseal all of the documents connected to the 2019 Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation.

However, countless Americans attempting to download the newly released files from the DOJ’s website were taken to an online queue which immediately rejected their attempt to wait in line.

Any attempt to refresh the page led to a message from DOJ stating: ‘Your queue number is no longer valid.’

The Daily Mail has gained access to the trove of documents connected to the Epstein case is currently reviewing them.

Among a collection of photos released Friday, former President Bill Clinton was pictured spending time with Epstein and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.

Clinton was also pictured frolicking in a hot tub with Maxwell.

Also seen in the thousands of documents were pictures of celebrities Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger posing with Epstein and Clinton.

This is a breaking story. More details to follow.

Dozens of the released photos contained nude images of young women, which were blocked out by federal officials.

Hundreds of images were completely redacted to conceal the identities of the alleged victims.
