The Department of Justice (DOJ) has officially declared a purported letter from the late Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar, a convicted child molester and former Team USA Gymnastics doctor, as fraudulent.
This announcement follows an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which determined the letter's inauthenticity due to discrepancies in handwriting and postmark details.
According to Breitbart, the FBI's scrutiny revealed that the letter's handwriting did not align with Epstein's known script. Additionally, the letter bore a postmark from Northern Virginia dated three days after Epstein's death, despite his incarceration in New York at the time. The DOJ further noted that the return address lacked the jail's details and Epstein's inmate number, both of which are mandatory for outgoing correspondence.
"The FBI has confirmed this alleged letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar is FAKE," the DOJ stated, emphasizing that the letter was flagged by the jail and subsequently investigated by the FBI.
The DOJ's statement serves as a cautionary note, underscoring that the release of a document by the department does not inherently validate the claims within. "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 DOJ remarked. Despite this incident, the department remains committed to disclosing all legally required materials.
The Hill reported that the fraudulent letter, presented as a postcard, falsely depicted Epstein writing about President Donald Trump, suggesting an affinity for "young, nubile girls." The postcard included a fabricated quote: "Our President also shares our love of young, nubile girls," and continued with a crude comparison of their respective circumstances. This incident highlights the ongoing challenges in discerning truth from fabrication in the public domain.
