Recently released US government documents reveal a letter thought to be from Jeffrey Epstein, which contains what is being regarded as a disturbing admission made just before his death.
The letter, tied to a new batch of Epstein-related files, appears to have been directed to Larry Nassar, the former USA gymnastics doctor who is imprisoned for multiple sexual abuse offenses.
Dated August 13, 2019, the envelope was sent shortly after Epstein was discovered dead by suicide in his New York jail cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center.
Investigators recovered it in the jail mail room weeks following Epstein’s passing. It had been returned from an Arizona prison, marked ‘no longer at this address’.
“It appeared he mailed it out and it was returned back to him,” an investigator wrote in an email to a prison official, as documented in the released files.
“I am not sure if I should open it or should we hand it over to anyone?”
The letter starts with: “As you will know by now, I have taken the ‘short route’ home.
“Good luck! We shared one thing … our love & caring for young ladies and the hope they reach their full potential.”
It continues with: “Our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to ‘grab snatch’, whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system.”
The letter concludes with: “Life is unfair. Yours, J. Epstein.”
The identity of the ‘president’ mentioned in the letter is not explicitly clear, but during the alleged time of writing, President Donald Trump was in office.
Trump has consistently denied any knowledge or involvement in Epstein’s illegal activities.
In a statement regarding the latest document release, the Department of Justice communicated via X: “The Department of Justice has officially released nearly 30,000 more pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.
“Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.
“Nevertheless, out of our commitment to the law and transparency, the DOJ is releasing these documents with the legally required protections for Epstein’s victims.”
