According to a statement from the U.S. Department of Justice, a letter included in the latest release of Epstein-related documents that had been attributed to Jeffrey Epstein and addressed to convicted sex offender Larry Nassar was determined by the FBI to be fake.
The FBI cited several reasons for this conclusion: the handwriting does not appear to match Epstein’s; the letter was postmarked three days after Epstein’s death and sent from northern Virginia, despite Epstein having died in a New York jail; and the return address failed to list the detention facility or Epstein’s inmate number, both of which are required for outgoing inmate mail under Federal Bureau of Prisons rules.
