• Letter claimed Epstein wrote to convicted USA Gymnastics doctor
• Handwriting analysis, postmark inconsistencies exposed fabrication
• FBI flagged suspicious letter at time of receipt in 2019

WASHINGTON, DC (TDR) — The Department of Justice confirmed Tuesday afternoon that a letter supposedly written by Jeffrey Epstein to convicted sex offender Larry Nassar was fabricated, marking one of the most striking revelations in the agency's ongoing document release mandated by Congress.

The handwritten note, which surfaced in a batch of nearly 30,000 pages published early Tuesday, included inflammatory language referencing "our president" and allegedly stated that Donald Trump shared "our love of young, nubile girls." Within hours of its release, the letter generated widespread attention on social media before federal investigators declared it inauthentic.

FBI Identified Multiple Inconsistencies

The FBI made its determination based on several critical factors. According to the DOJ's statement on X, the writing does not appear to match Epstein's handwriting. The letter was postmarked three days after Epstein's death out of Northern Virginia, when he was jailed in New York. Additionally, 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."

The envelope was addressed to Nassar at a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility in Tucson, Arizona, but was marked "return to sender" because Nassar had been transferred to a Florida prison. Prison officials discovered the suspicious correspondence weeks after Epstein's death while investigating his suicide at the Metropolitan Correctional Center.

Handwriting Analysis Requested In 2020

Documents released Tuesday also revealed that FBI New York requested the Laboratory perform a handwriting analysis in July 2020 to compare the letter with known samples from Epstein's cell. The request sought to determine whether Epstein or another unknown person wrote the letter. While the DOJ confirmed the FBI concluded the letter was fake, it did not specifically state whether the 2020 handwriting analysis formed the basis of that determination.

The fake letter to Larry Nassar was addressed to "L.N." and signed by "J. Epstein." It referenced taking the "short route" home and made crude statements about "our president" without explicitly naming Trump. The message appeared to have been sent in August 2019, the same month Epstein died by suicide while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Context Of Document Release

The disclosure came as part of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which Congress passed with near-unanimous support in November. The law requires Attorney General Pam Bondi to release all unclassified DOJ records related to Epstein within 30 days.

Nassar, the longtime doctor for USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University, is serving 40 to 175 years in federal prison after more than 150 women and girls publicly stated he sexually abused them under the pretense of medical treatment. Authorities have not established any relationship between Nassar and Epstein.

The DOJ emphasized that "the fake letter was received by the jail, and flagged for the FBI at the time," indicating investigators recognized potential issues with the correspondence when it first surfaced in 2019.
