WARNING: The content of the letter is graphic and could be considered disturbing in nature.
Dear L.N.
As you know by now, I have taken the ‘short route’ home. Good luck! We shared one thing … our love and caring for young ladies and the hope they’d reach their full potential.
Our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to (explicit), where as we ended up (...) in the mess halls of the system.
Life is unfair.
Yours,
J. Epstein
J. Epstein letter to L.N.
Here is a statement from the Department of Justice:
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 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.
