Newly released Justice Department files on Jeffrey Epstein included a purported letter allegedly written by him to Larry Nassar, suggesting President Trump shared their interest in young girls. The letter, postmarked in 2019, contained disturbing language, but the DOJ later confirmed its lack of authenticity. Investigations by the FBI revealed the letter was fake due to discrepancies in the postmark, the lack of an inmate number, and the handwriting not matching Epstein’s. The DOJ emphasized that releasing a document does not validate the claims made within it.
