The White House highlighted a social media publication by the Department of Justice claiming that a letter attributed to Jeffrey Epstein that said President Donald Trump loved "young, nubile girls" is fake.
The letter in question was released as part of a broader tranche of documents on Tuesday. It is signed by "J. Epstein" and addressed to Larry Nassar, the sports doctor who was convicted of sexually abusing girls and women in his care.
The note appears to reference an upcoming suicide, saying "as you know by now I have taken the 'short route home.'" He then says the two shared "our love and caring for young ladies and the hope they reach their full potential," adding later that "our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls." The letter was postmarked August 13, 2019, when Donald Trump was president.
NBC News noted that the envelope was marked "return to sender" and sent back to Epstein's jail because Nassar was no longer at the facility to which the note was mailed. The outlet couldn't verify whether the handwriting was Epstein's and noted that another document showed that the FBI requested a handwriting analysis to determine he had actually written it. The results were not included.
The DOJ released a statement on X after the document was published, saying it is "currently looking into the validity of this alleged letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar and we will follow up as soon as possible."
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. The FBI made this conclusion based on the following facts:-The writing does not appear to match Jeffrey…

Shortly after it followed up with a post claiming the letter is "FAKE."
"The FBI made this conclusion based on the following facts: 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."
"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," the publication concludes.
