A letter from Jeffrey Epstein to disgraced former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar is among the more than 29,000 documents released by the Justice Department on Tuesday, Dec. 23.
Nassar was sentenced in 2018 to 40 to 175 years in prison after pleading guilty to seven counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct for assaulting the young athletes he treated while working for both USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University.
The handwritten letter from Epstein to Nassar was postmarked three days after Epstein's death in prison by reported suicide in August 2019, and appears to reference United States President Donald Trump.
"Dear L. N.," the letter began. "As you know by now, I have taken the 'short route' home. Good luck! We shared one thing … our love & caring for young ladies at the hope they'd reach their full potential. Our president 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. Life is unfair. Yours J. Epstein."
The latest batch of material from the Justice Department's Epstein investigation included dozens of video clips and other documents with many redactions. The Justice Department said on social media that documents include "untrue and sensationalist claims" against Trump before the 2020 election.
