In reply to the discussion: Wow please fact check your posts [View all]Scrivener7
(58,142 posts)14. Here's a Forbes article listing the elements in the letter that indicate it is false.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/tylerroush/2025/12/23/major-epstein-files-release-doj-says-letter-to-larry-nassar-mentioning-trump-is-fake/
Also, Julie K. Brown has said the handwriting isn't Epstein's. As the person who first broke the story for the Miami Herald after years of research, she'd probably know.
It is also important to note that, along with the second batch of files they released, the DOJ sent an accompanying letter stating that much in that batch was false information.
Do we believe them? Do we not? I don't know.
But the Epstein to Nassar letter does seem to be fake.
Also, can you have this conversation without insulting everyone? Thanks.

Why would you doubt that letter? Birds of a feather flock together- like Epstein reaching out to nasser

This is their plan. The heavily redacted batch didn't fly. So then they released that second batch.

It's how they tried to hide Abu Ghraib. It toppled Dan Rather then, but ultimately didn't work.

Again, see the Forbes article. It lists the elements in the letter that show it to be false.

OK, at what time are you saying that DUers were the problem, rather than the media who reported it?

Has anyone checked with Nassar? He might shed some light, and he's still alive,
