FBI Confirms Epstein's Alleged Letter to Larry Nassar as Fabricated Hoax

WASHINGTON (The Hill) – On Tuesday, the Justice Department addressed a controversial postcard that allegedly linked Jeffrey Epstein to President Trump, dismissing it as a “fake.” The postcard, which implied Trump had an interest in “young” girls, had already been reported to the FBI when it first surfaced.

The postcard’s sender purported to be Epstein, writing to Larry Nassar, the disgraced former sports doctor convicted of sexual abuse against female gymnasts, during their time in prison.

Notably, the postcard was postmarked three days after Epstein’s death and originated from a Virginia facility, despite Epstein being incarcerated in New York at the time.

“The FBI has confirmed this supposed letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar is FAKE. It was received by the jail and promptly flagged for the FBI,” the Department of Justice clarified in a statement on the social media platform X.

In the postcard, the writer says that “Our president also 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,” it reads.

In a 2005 tape that was released in 2016, Trump was heard bragging about how being famous meant he could “grab [women] by the p—y.”

The note was postmarked on Aug. 13, 2019, three days after Epstein’s death. The letter also appears to reference Epstein’s suicide.

“As you know by now, I have taken the ’short route’ home. Good luck! We shared one thing … our love and caring for young ladies and the hope they’d reach their full potential,” the letter reads.

The Justice Department said Tuesday it was “looking into the validity” of the message, writing that beyond coming from the wrong prison, the postcard also did not include his inmate number, which is required for outgoing mail. Shortly thereafter, DOJ confirmed it was fake and said the handwriting did not appear to match Epstein’s.

“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,” the department wrote on X.
