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.
The DOJ did not provide any context for the images of people included in the files.
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Any attempt to refresh the page led to a message from DOJ stating: ‘Your queue number is no longer valid.’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.
Additionally, an image of President Donald Trump’s name was listed in a redacted version of Epstein’s ‘contact book’ released in the latest file dump.

Another image allegedly connecting Trump to Epstein involved the deceased pedophile holding a novelty check for $22,500 signed by ‘D Trump,’ but the signature was much different from the president’s famous handwriting.
Epstein was pictured with a mystery woman clutching the giant check, but the memo line was mostly covered by a redaction box.
Also seen in the thousands of documents were pictures of celebrities Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger posing with Epstein and Clinton.
The newest file dump contained hundreds of records from Epstein’s trips around the world, including stops in Moscow, Copenhagen, and Paris.
The DOJ also disclosed a complaint document alleging that Epstein threatened to burn a photographer’s house down.
The photographer claimed the pedophile stole photos she took of her 12-year-old and 16-year-old sisters and ‘sold the pictures to potential buyers.’
‘Epstein at one time requested [the photographer’s redacted name] to take pictures of young girls at swimming pools,’ the complaint read.
‘Epstein is now threatening [the photographer] that if she tells anyone about the photos, he will burn her house down.’

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.
Many of the images featured Maxwell in various states of undress or in costumes at Epstein’s parties.
She was also seen posing with Clinton and actor Kevin Spacey, who was acquitted of criminal sexual assault charges in the UK in 2023 and in a civil case in the US in 2022. Spacey has denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
