Federal Agencies Dismiss Purported Epstein–Nassar Letter (12/27/25)

The recent news linking Larry Nassar and Jeffrey Epstein stems from a document that appeared in a large federal release of Epstein-related records, described as a handwritten letter from Epstein to Nassar. Almost immediately, officials said the letter was not authentic, citing technical issues with handwriting, mailing details, and dates. On paper, that explanation is straightforward. But given the long history of mishandled evidence, delayed disclosures, and shifting narratives in the Epstein case, it is not unreasonable that the appearance of such a document—however brief—triggered questions before being dismissed.

The government’s position is that there is no verified connection between Epstein and Nassar beyond this disputed item, and no evidence the two ever corresponded. Still, the episode highlights a recurring problem with how Epstein material has been released: documents surface without context, provenance, or explanation, leaving the public to parse authenticity after the fact. Even if the letter is exactly what authorities say it is, the way it entered the public record reinforces skepticism—not about any specific claim, but about a process that repeatedly introduces confusion into a case where clarity and credibility have already been in short supply.
