A postcard allegedly written by Jeffrey Epstein and sent to convicted sexual offender Larry Nassar has stirred fresh controversy, appearing to reference “our president” and his alleged interest in “young, nubile girls.”
While no one is explicitly named in the handwritten note, Donald Trump was serving his first term in the White House at the time.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) released the postcard last night as part of a broader trove of Epstein-related documents.
The Contents of the Alleged Letter
Epstein reportedly began the note by referencing his own death: “As you know by now, I have taken the ‘short route’ home.”
He continued by claiming a shared interest with the recipient: “We shared one thing… our love & caring for young ladies at the hope they’d reach their full potential.”
The message goes on to mention “our president” and makes further sexually charged references.
The postcard was addressed to “L.N.”—Larry Nassar’s initials—and signed “Yours, J. Epstein.”
It was postmarked August 13, 2019, just days after Epstein’s suicide in a New York jail cell.
Questions Surrounding Authenticity
Authorities have raised immediate questions about the letter’s legitimacy.
The DOJ noted inconsistencies, including a postmark from Virginia rather than New York, a return address that did not match Epstein’s inmate location, and processing of the envelope three days after Epstein’s death.
Officials said the department is “currently looking into the validity of the alleged letter” and promised to follow up once the investigation is complete.
Trump’s Response
White House officials directed inquiries to an X statement issued by the DOJ, calling the claims “untrue and sensationalist” and insisting that, had there been any credibility to the accusations, they would have been leveraged politically already.
Trump himself has repeatedly denied any involvement in Epstein’s criminal activities.
Context: Epstein and Nassar
Larry Nassar, a former USA Olympic doctor, is serving a 60-year sentence for sexual abuse and child pornography offenses.
Epstein was a convicted financier who died in custody while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
The alleged postcard surfaced after Nassar was transferred from a federal prison in Arizona to Florida.
Records show it was returned to sender, suggesting Nassar never received it.
Wider Release of Epstein Documents
The postcard is part of a massive DOJ release, including roughly 300,000 documents Congress mandated to be made public under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Among the documents are flight logs showing Trump traveling on Epstein’s private jet multiple times between 1993 and 1996, sometimes with co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in Epstein’s trafficking scheme.
Emails among prosecutors highlight that Trump was on at least eight flights, sometimes with a young woman also on board.
Criticism Over DOJ Handling
The release has faced criticism for being heavily redacted and lacking context, leaving survivors and lawmakers frustrated.
Epstein survivors have expressed disappointment over the handling of the files, saying the information falls short of accountability.
Even with the Transparency Act, top DOJ officials acknowledged that hundreds of thousands of documents remain unreleased.
Survivors Speak Out
Victims of Nassar and Epstein have long testified to the lasting trauma caused by the two men.
Olympic athletes including Simone Biles and McKayla Maroney described abuse that left permanent psychological and physical scars.
The release of new documents, including this postcard, has reignited public discussion about accountability, transparency, and the high-profile figures connected to Epstein.
Investigation Continues
At present, the DOJ is examining the authenticity of the postcard and has provided no confirmation that its claims are factual.
Meanwhile, the broader release of Epstein-related files continues to generate headlines and scrutiny, with lawmakers and the public calling for more transparency and context around the disturbing evidence.
