DOJ Casts Doubt On Authenticity Of Alleged Epstien Letter Hinting At Child Abuser That Trump Shared 'Love Of Young, Nubile Girls'

The Department of Justice cast doubt on the authenticity of a note attributed to disgraced financier and abuser Jeffrey Epstein in which he appears to hint that President Donald Trump shared a "love of young, nubile girls."

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."

"In the meantime, three facts stand out: 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:"

The message was then reposted by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
