Hold onto your hats, folks—another twist in the Jeffrey Epstein saga has surfaced with a forged letter that’s as believable as a unicorn sighting.

The FBI and Department of Justice dropped a bombshell on Tuesday, revealing that an alleged letter from Epstein to disgraced gymnast abuser Larry Nassar, tucked into a massive dump of over 30,000 Epstein files, is nothing but a hoax, the Washington Examiner reported. 

This fabricated note, addressed to “L.N.,” took a wild swing at former President Donald Trump with claims so outlandish they’d make a tabloid blush.

Uncovering the Forgery: Key Red Flags

The FBI didn’t mince words, pointing out three glaring issues that scream “fake” louder than a knockoff Rolex.

First, the handwriting doesn’t match Epstein’s known style, a dead giveaway for any serious investigator.

Second, the postmark from northern Virginia is dated August 13, 2019—three days after Epstein’s death by suicide in a New York cell on August 10, 2019, which is a timeline even Hollywood couldn’t dream up.

DOJ Stands Firm Amid Scrutiny

Third, the return address lacks Epstein’s required inmate number, a basic protocol that any prison pen pal would know.

The DOJ, for its part, was quick to clarify that just because a document gets released doesn’t mean it’s gospel. “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 stated, hammering home a point that should be obvious in this era of rampant misinformation.

Yet, the department doubled down on its promise to keep rolling out Epstein files as mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law by Trump last month.

Congress Pushes for Faster Disclosures

That said, the Trump administration caught flak from Congress for missing a Friday deadline to release all Epstein records as required by statute.

Instead, only an initial batch of documents hit the public eye that day, with the DOJ citing the need to review and redact sensitive info tied to survivors and active legal cases.

More files are expected in the coming weeks, but lawmakers aren’t thrilled with the slow drip, especially with revelations that at least ten alleged Epstein co-conspirators were under investigation in 2019, their identities still under wraps.

Investigations Continue, Victims Seek Justice

Internal DOJ messages paint a picture of a sprawling probe—six of those co-conspirators have been located and served grand jury subpoenas across Florida, Boston, New York City, and Connecticut, while four remain at large, including a wealthy Ohio businessman.

Attorney General Pam Bondi didn’t hold back, declaring, “Anyone involved in the trafficking and exploitation of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims” will face appropriate charges, a stance that resonates with those tired of seeing powerful figures dodge accountability.

Meanwhile, a DOJ team is heading to Florida to interview around 25 victims, a somber reminder that behind every forged letter or missed deadline are real people still seeking justice in a case that exposes some of society’s darkest corners.
