UPDATE: Purported Epstein letter that referenced Trump is FAKE, DOJ determines

6

From the New York Post: A salacious letter purportedly written by Jeffrey Epstein that directly referenced President Trump is fake, the Justice Department said Tuesday.

“The FBI has confirmed that this alleged letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar is FAKE,” the DOJ wrote on X hours after it pledged it was “looking into the validity of this alleged letter.”

Epstein purportedly wrote the letter to fellow jailed sex offender Larry Nassar — the disgraced USA Gymnastics doctor who is serving hundreds of years of prison for abusing girls under his care.

The salacious postcard addressed to Nassar reads, “As you know by now, I have taken the ‘short route’ home. [Implying suicide.] Good luck! We shared one thing . . . our love & caring for young ladies at the hope they’d reach their full potential.”

The letter adds, “Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to ‘grab snatch,’ whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system. Life is unfair.”

The postcard was postmarked August 13, 2019 – three days AFTER Epstein’s death on August 10, 2019. It is marked “Return to Sender” on the front, and is believe to have been caught and sent back by the prison’s mailroom, so it never reached Nassar.

President Trump was in the middle of his first term in office at the time.

The Justice Department first announced Tuesday afternoon that they were investigating the letter, and provided three reasons why they believe it is a fake:

The Department of Justice is currently looking into the validity of this alleged letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar and we will follow up as soon as possible.

In the meantime, three facts stand out:

-The postmark on the envelope is Virginia, not New York, where Jeffrey Epstein was jailed at the time.

-The return address listed the wrong jail where Epstein was held and did not include his inmate number, which is required for outgoing mail.

-The envelope was processed three days AFTER Epstein’s death.

In a follow-up post, the DOJ confirmed the postcard was NOT written by Epstein:

The FBI has confirmed this alleged letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar is FAKE. The fake letter was received by the jail, and flagged for the FBI at the time. The FBI made this conclusion based on the following facts:

-The writing does not appear to match Jeffrey Epstein’s.

-The letter was postmarked three days after Epstein’s death out of Northern Virginia, when he was jailed in New York.

-The return address did not list the jail where Epstein was held and did not include his inmate number, which is required for outgoing mail.

This fake letter serves as a reminder that just because a document is released by the Department of Justice does not make the allegations or claims within the document factual. Nevertheless, the DOJ will continue to release all material required by law.

During the initial release of the 30,000 pages of documents Tuesday morning, the Justice Department had included the following disclaimer:

“Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.

Nevertheless, out of our commitment to the law and transparency, the DOJ is releasing these documents with the legally required protections for Epstein’s victims.”

The scandalous postcard is being widely shared on social media, as if it were actually written by Epstein.

The Justice Department is now firing back in response to every post on X, with their note confirming that the postcard is FAKE, and was not written by Epstein.  The DOJ has slapped down posts by the Wall Street Journal, TMZ, MeidasTouch, Forbes and many others.
