The Department of Justice is speaking out about that alarming letter about Donald Trump…
As we previously reported, the DOJ released thousands more documents from the Jeffrey Epstein files on Tuesday morning — including ones that mention Trump. We reported how an email in the files alleges Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet multiple times — including four times with Epstein’s partner and co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell. But one of the other most troubling documents to drop? It’s a letter the convicted sex offender allegedly sent to Larry Nassar, the former US gymnastics team doctor convicted of sexually assaulting young gymnasts, while they were both in federal prison in August 2019, which features a disturbing line about the president. The message said:
“As you will know by now, I have taken the ‘short route’ home. Good luck! We shared one thing … our love & caring for young ladies and the hope they reach their full potential. 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. Yours, J. Epstein.”

“Our president” was Donald Trump at the time. Take a look at it (below):
The letter was postmarked on August 13, 2019, just three days after Epstein died by suicide. According to the file, the feds obtained the note when it came back to the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York since Nassar was moved from Tucson, Arizona, to a Florida prison. An FBI agent reportedly requested that a laboratory perform a handwriting analysis to prove Epstein wrote the letter, but the results are unknown.
The letter has since gone viral online, with people calling out the alleged comment about Trump. In fact, the new round of files, including the letter, led to an Epstein survivor and now former Trump supporter to call for his impeachment. Hours after the new batch of documents dropped on Tuesday, the Department of Justice announced on X (Twitter) that they are “currently looking into the validity of this alleged letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar and we will follow up as soon as possible.” However, they made a point to note three things right off the bat:
“- The postmark on the envelope is Virginia, not New York, where Jeffrey Epstein was jailed at the time.
-The return address listed the wrong jail where Epstein was held and did not include his inmate number, which is required for outgoing mail.
-The envelope was processed three days AFTER Epstein’s death.”

Well, nearly two hours later, the DOJ is already coming forward with the supposed answers as to whether the letter is legit or not. The verdict? The department claimed on X (Twitter) that the letter is “FAKE.” Yes, in all caps. The tweet said:
“The FBI has confirmed this alleged letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar is FAKE. The fake letter was received by the jail, and flagged for the FBI at the time.”
According to the DOJ, the FBI came to that conclusion for three reasons:
“-The writing does not appear to match Jeffrey Epstein’s.
-The letter was postmarked three days after Epstein’s death out of Northern Virginia, when he was jailed in New York.
-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.”
Hmm. The DOJ concluded the post, saying:
“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.”

They determined all that in… only two hours? Really? People, as you can imagine, are not buying a single word the DOJ says following the extremely short investigation. Many even have a lot of questions — including if the letter was fake, why was it included in the files in the first place, why are the results of the handwriting analysis not in the files, and more.
And let’s not forget, the Associated Press reported about the Epstein letter to Nassar back in 2023. The publication obtained over 4,000 pages of documents related to Epstein’s death from the federal Bureau of Prisons under the Freedom of Information Act at the time, including his attempt to connect with Nassar by mail. The actual details of the letter were unknown back then, though. Regardless, why didn’t the DOJ say something if it’s fake? We also need to point out that the department has only called out supposed “untrue and sensationalist claims” against Trump — and no one else mentioned in the files, which is eyebrow-raising in itself. Not to mention, a photo of him reportedly disappeared from the files. So, all that has people skeptical about what the DOJ claims. See some of the reactions (below):
“The hand writing assessment was done when? Release the results from the investigation.”
“This information seems incredibly important. Was it included in the release of that letter? If not, why not?”
“You completed your investigation in 2 hours?”
“Then who wrote the letter? Who sent it? Too many unknowns if it’s fake.”
“Y’all are the same people who released it so are you that incompetent you didn’t check to make sure something that damn scathing involving Trump was real or not before you released it? More likely one of you f**ked up and it released it with the rest.”
“If it wasn’t authentic, why was it released as part of the files in the first place?”
“Ok so where is the FBI document from 2019 (when it was discovered) concluding that it was fake? You put out a tweet and expect us to believe it???”
“What steps did you take to confirm this? Seems to me you are just regurgitating your statement from earlier. Was there an official analysis done on this originally that you were able to reference so quickly? Seems odd. Not much time has elapsed since you announced you were looking into it?”
“That’s it? Those are your only reasons? The handwriting is the only valid point. Where’s the report on this? Where and when was the analysis done?”
“The @FBI requested handwriting analyis on the Epstein-Nassar letter in 2020, according to last night’s file dump (below). Question: Where are the results? Follow up: Did the DOJ examine those results today, 16 hours after the letter’s release, or was a new analysis conducted?”
It’s clear a lot of people feel like this admin’s response to literally any claim of wrongdoing is to just throw the word “fake” on it and call it a day. But what are YOUR thoughts on the DOJ’s response, Perezcious readers? Are you just as skeptical? Why or why not? Let us know in the comments.
