The Justice Department released hundreds of thousands of pages of records related to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein Friday, hours after a top official teased more material would be released in the coming days.

The DOJ webpage holding the files buckled under the weight of millions of search requests once the files were released shortly after 4 p.m. ET. Media outlets and amateur sleuths were herded into a virtual queue — only to be redirected back into line and be told their place was no longer in effect.

Friday was the deadline for the DOJ to comply with a bipartisan law signed by President Trump ordering the disclosure of “unclassified records, documents, communications and investigative materials” — as well as classified information to the maximum extent possible — related to Epstein, who was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell Aug. 10, 2019, while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.

However, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told “Fox & Friends” that Friday’s release would not mark the end of the disclosures.
