The contents of the purported letter dated 2019 were released by the DoJ early on Tuesday and had appeared to have been written by Epstein to Nassar and discussed a love of “young ladies”. Nassar was the US Olympics gymnastics team doctor and was convicted in 2017 and 2018 of multiple crimes related to sexual abuse. The letter, now exposed as a fake, said: “As you will know by now, I have taken the ‘short route’ home,” the letter, which appears to have been signed from Epstein to Nassar, reads. The letter is postmarked 13 August 2019, notably three days after Epstein died in custody in what was ruled a suicide. To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.
