A postcard found in the Epstein files, purportedly written by Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar while in prison, has been debunked by the FBI as a fake document. The postcard, dated August 13, 2019, supposedly sent from prison, contained a message expressing mutual concern for young women’s well-being and a cryptic reference to a president’s alleged interest in young girls, without specifying the individual. Donald Trump, president at the time of the postcard, has consistently denied any misconduct.
Despite its inclusion in the official release, the FBI discredited the postcard due to inconsistencies in handwriting and postage details. The Department of Justice clarified the postcard’s falsity, highlighting that the writing did not match Epstein’s, the postmark was from Northern Virginia after Epstein’s death in New York, and the absence of essential jail information on the return address.
Nassar, a former doctor for the US women’s national gymnastics team and a convicted sex offender, was located in Sumterville, Florida, when Epstein supposedly sent the letter, having been moved from a prison in Arizona in 2018 due to safety concerns. The return to sender stamp indicated Nassar was no longer at the specified address.
While the postcard’s public disclosure coincided with the DOJ’s release of Epstein-related evidence, the Associated Press had previously reported on its existence in 2023.
