DOJ says alleged Jeffrey Epstein letter to Larry Nassar in document release is fake

WASHINGTON, DC: The Department of Justice flagged a fake document in the third batch of Epstein file releases. 

In a post on X, the DOJ confirmed that an alleged letter from Jeffrey Epstein to disgraced former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar included in the document release is fake. Notably, the third batch of Epstein files, released on December 23, contained nearly 30,000 documents related to Epstein.

FBI confirms a letter from Epstein to Larry Nassar was fake 

In a statement posted on X, the DOJ said the FBI determined the letter was fake after jail officials flagged it at the time of receipt.

The DOJ’s post opened by stating, “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, investigators identified multiple inconsistencies that ruled out Epstein as the author.

First, the DOJ said, "The writing does not appear to match Jeffrey Epstein’s."

Second, 'the letter was postmarked three days after Epstein's death out of Northern Virginia, when he was jailed in New York.'

Third, '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.'

In its final statement, the DOJ said, "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."

Document reveals ex–Prince Andrew’s emails to Ghislaine Maxwell

Newly released files related to Jeffrey Epstein reveal that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, allegedly asked Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell whether she had found him 'new inappropriate friends' in an email sent while he was staying at the royal family’s Balmoral estate.

In the latest document release by the Department of Justice, an email dated August 16, 2001, shows Andrew writing, “I am up here at Balmoral Summer Camp for the Royal Family,” according to the BBC, referring to the royal family’s private estate in Scotland.

He went on to describe a packed schedule, writing that activities lasted all day and left him exhausted, adding that 'the girls are completely shattered and I will have to give them an early night today as it is getting tiring splitting them up all the time!'

The email, traced to an account labeled 'The Invisible Man' and signed 'A,' was sent five months after Virginia Giuffre made an accusation against the Duke of York. The message then shifted to a personal request.

“How’s LA?” the email continued. “Have you found me some new inappropriate friends? Let me know when you are coming over as I am free from 25th August until 2nd Sept and want to go somewhere hot and sunny with some fun people before having to put my nose firmly to the grindstone for the Fall. Any ideas gratefully received!"

Maxwell responded within hours and appeared to dismiss the request, "So sorry to dissapoint [sic] you, however the truth must be told. I have only been able to find appropriate friends. Will let you know about some church meetings on those dates."
