One social media user questioned how the department got caught up in the lie – if they were the ones investigating.
The battle between what’s real and fake continues after the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) claims an alleged letter from Jeffrey Epstein to disgraced former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar naming President Donald Trump is fake.
“Dear L.N., As you know by now, I have taken the ‘short route’ home,” the letter read, telling Nassar, “we shared one thing … our love and caring for young ladies and the hope they reach their full potential.”
“Life is unfair.”
But shortly after, the agency announced the letter wasn’t real after investigating its authenticity, pointing out several reasons for the conclusion, such as different handwriting and the letter being postmarked three days after Epstein’s death. The letter was also allegedly sent from Northern Virginia, when the late financier was jailed in New York.
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.

We produce documents, and sometimes this can result in releasing fake or false documents because they are simply in our possession, because the law requires this,” Blanche wrote on X.
“Case in point: the so-called Epstein Nassar letter is clearly FAKE – wrong handwriting, wrong return address, and postmarked three days after Epstein died. Fake videos of Epstein in his cell. Photos with no explanation. Sensational tales and lies by random people. These are not reality. We will continue to produce every document required by law. Let’s not let internet rumor engines outrun the facts.”
There has been lots of sensationalism and even outright lies these past few days about the “Epstein Files.” But let’s separate fact from fiction. Document production is just that.

“The justice department is accusing the justice department of lying?” @otmbeatz317 asked.
