Americans blocked from Epstein files moments after secret documents are released

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Any attempt to refresh the page led to a message from DOJ stating: ‘Your queue number is no longer valid.’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

This is a breaking story. More details to follow.
