Letter Proven Fake by DOJ and FBI Handwriting Review The Justice Department announced that the handwritten note signed “J. Epstein” and addressed to “L.N.” does not match Jeffrey Epstein’s known handwriting, and the FBI’s analysis corroborated this finding. Both agencies noted the postmark dated August 13 2019—three days after Epstein’s suicide—and the absence of his inmate number, undermining any claim of authenticity. The envelope’s Virginia postmark and return‑to‑sender status further contradict the claim that it originated from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York where Epstein was incarcerated [1][2].

Addressed to Larry Nassar, Linking Two High‑Profile Abuse Cases The letter was directed to Larry Nassar, the former USA Gymnastics doctor serving a 60‑year federal sentence for sexual abuse of over 150 athletes. Its inclusion among released Epstein documents has intensified scrutiny of possible connections between the two perpetrators’ misconduct. Neither source provides evidence that Epstein and Nassar communicated beyond this forged correspondence [1][2].

Reference to “Our President” Omits Trump’s Name, Prompting Denials The note mentions “our president” in a crude remark about “young, nubile girls” but never names Donald Trump, who was in office at the time. The White House labeled the claim as unfounded, and Trump has repeatedly denied any involvement or friendship with Epstein after the early 2000s. Both outlets highlight that the political reference appears designed to sensationalize rather than convey factual information [1][2].

Epstein Files Release Accelerated by Transparency Act, More Documents Expected The DOJ continues to publish batches of Epstein‑related records following congressional approval in November, a process expedited by the Epstein Files Transparency Act signed by Trump. Newsweek notes that additional documents are slated for release in the coming weeks, underscoring the administration’s commitment to transparency despite the controversy surrounding the forged letter [2].
