• Justice Department released nearly 30,000 additional pages of Jeffrey Epstein documents Tuesday, including a disputed letter to convicted sex offender Larry Nassar
• The handwritten note, postmarked August 13, 2019, makes reference to "our president" and was submitted to FBI for handwriting analysis
• DOJ warned some documents contain "untrue and sensationalist claims" about President Trump submitted to FBI before the 2020 election

WASHINGTON, DC (TDR) — The Justice Department released nearly 30,000 pages of documents Tuesday related to Jeffrey Epstein, including a purported handwritten letter to convicted pedophile Larry Nassar that references "our president" and "young, nubile girls," postmarked three days after Epstein's death in August 2019.

The letter, signed by "J. Epstein" and addressed to "L.N.," was sent from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City to Nassar at a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility in Arizona. The envelope shows a postmark date of August 13, 2019, three days after Epstein was found dead in his cell on August 10, 2019.

Letter contents and FBI analysis

The controversial note opens with an apparent suicide reference. It states the writer has taken the "short route" home before claiming shared interests with Nassar in "young ladies" reaching their potential.

"Our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls."

The letter continues with a crude reference to "grab snatch" before ending with "Life is unfair. Yours, J. Epstein." The envelope was marked "return to sender" because Nassar was no longer at the listed address.

According to documents released Tuesday, the FBI requested a handwriting analysis in July 2020 to determine whether Epstein actually wrote the letter. The laboratory examination request states FBI New York sought to compare the letter with Epstein's known handwriting samples from his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center. The released documents do not disclose the results of that analysis, leaving the letter's authenticity uncertain.

DOJ issues disclaimer about Trump claims

The Department of Justice preceded Tuesday's document release with a statement warning that some materials contain disputed claims about President Donald Trump.

"Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election."

The DOJ statement emphasized these claims are "unfounded and false" but said the department is releasing them "out of our commitment to the law and transparency." The department did not specify which documents contain the disputed claims or whether the Nassar letter was among them.

Authorities have not accused Trump of any wrongdoing or charged him with any crimes in connection with Epstein. Trump was president at the time the letter was allegedly written in August 2019.

Congressional pressure mounts

The release comes after Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, requiring the DOJ to make all unclassified Epstein-related documents publicly available within 30 days of the law's enactment. The initial Friday deadline passed with criticism from lawmakers who said the department failed to comply fully with the law.

Representatives Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY), who co-sponsored the transparency legislation, have threatened to pursue inherent contempt charges against Attorney General Pam Bondi for the incomplete release. The lawmakers said they are building a bipartisan coalition to impose daily fines until all documents are released.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) criticized the heavily redacted nature of Friday's initial release, stating the department violated both "the spirit of transparency and the letter of the law."

Background on Nassar connection

Nassar, 62, is serving a 60-year federal sentence on child pornography charges and was convicted of sexually assaulting more than 150 women and girls, including numerous Olympic gymnasts, under the guise of medical treatment during his tenure as USA gymnastics team doctor and at Michigan State University.

The Associated Press first reported the existence of a letter from Epstein to Nassar in June 2023, though the contents were not disclosed at that time. Prison officials discovered the returned letter weeks after Epstein's death while investigating his suicide.
