The FBI requested a handwriting analysis after a message allegedly sent by Jeffrey Epstein to another notorious sex offender apparently suggested the implication of Donald Trump.
The letter, postmarked Aug. 13, 2019, three days after Epstein died in federal custody, to former U.S. gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar, who was convicted of sexually abusing scores of young gymnasts, alleges that President Donald Trump shared their “love of young, nubile girls.”
“Dear L.N. as you know by now, I have taken the ‘short route’ home,” the handwritten letter states. “Good Luck! We share one thing … our love & caring for young ladies at the hope they’d reach their full potential. Our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to ‘grab ——,’ whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system. Life is unfair. Yours, J. Epstein.”
Epstein was found dead in his cell Aug. 10, 2019, and his death was ruled a suicide. The letter was eventually marked “return to sender,” according to an FBI request for a handwriting analysis that was also released Monday in a new batch of files disclosed by the Department of Justice.
“On Wednesday, September 25, 2019, Special Agent (SA) received a phone call from Bureau of Prisons Special Investigative Section (SIS) Lieutenant (LT) Tijuana Doctor regarding a letter that was received by the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC),” that document states. “The letter was a ‘return to sender’ and the following was written at the top left corner of the letter: J. Epstein Manhattan Correctional NYC NY 10007 The letter was postmarked NOVA 220 13 August 2019 and was addressed to Larry Nassar at 9300 S. Wilmot Road, Tucson, Arizona, 85756.”
“This address is that of another Federal Bureau of Prisons facility,” the document adds. “The reason for the ‘return to sender’ was the addressee was ‘no longer at this address.’”
The FBI’s office in New York, where Epstein was being held while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, asked for the analysis to determine whether the disgraced financier had written the letter to Nassar.
“FBI New York requests the Laboratory perform a handwriting analysis comparing the letter received from MCC and the handwriting of Jeffrey Epstein to conclude if the individual who wrote the letter was Epstein or another unknown person,” the document states. “Handwriting samples from Jeffrey Epstein’s cell at MCC will be submitted along with the letter in question (in IA envelope 1A65).”
It’s not clear whether that analysis was conducted or what it might have determined.
