The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has officially confirmed that a letter purportedly written by the late Jeffrey Epstein to disgraced former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar is a forgery.
The announcement follows an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which concluded that the document does not meet basic authenticity standards and could not have been sent under the circumstances claimed.
In a statement shared on X, the DOJ said the FBI determined the letter was fake after examining several key inconsistencies. According to federal officials, the handwriting in the letter does not appear to match Epstein’s known writing style.
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:

Additionally, the postcard was postmarked three days after Epstein’s death and originated from Northern Virginia—despite the fact that Epstein was being held in a New York jail at the time of his death in 2019.
“The FBI has confirmed this alleged letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar is FAKE,” the DOJ stated. “The fake letter was received by the jail and flagged for the FBI at the time.”
The Department of Justice outlined multiple red flags that led investigators to their conclusion, including:
- The handwriting does not appear to match verified samples of Jeffrey Epstein’s writing.
- The letter was postmarked three days after Epstein’s death and mailed from Northern Virginia, even though Epstein was incarcerated in New York.
- The return address failed to list the correctional facility where Epstein was housed and did not include his inmate identification number, both of which are mandatory for outgoing inmate mail.
Federal officials emphasized that the release of documents by the DOJ does not automatically validate the claims or allegations contained within them.
“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,” the DOJ said. “Nevertheless, the DOJ will continue to release all material required by law.”
According to reporting by The Hill, the fabricated letter took the form of a postcard and portrayed Epstein as making inflammatory remarks, including a claim that President Donald Trump “loved ‘young’ girls.” The postcard included explicit and crude language allegedly written in Epstein’s voice.
“Our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls,” the postcard read. “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.”
The DOJ’s confirmation that the letter is fake underscores ongoing concerns about misinformation, forged documents, and the misuse of government-released records to promote false or misleading narratives.
Officials say the case highlights the importance of verification and context when evaluating sensational claims tied to high-profile criminal cases.
