DOJ Slammed For Childish Response To Question About 'Fake' Epstein Letter
HuffPost
The DOJ's social media account called one journalist a "dope" after he asked why the department was releasing documents it claimed were "fake."
The Department of Justice’s social media account was slammed on Wednesday for its childish response to a question about the Jeffrey Epstein files.
One of the items the DOJ released Tuesday was a letter Epstein allegedly wrote to Larry Nassar, a former doctor for the U.S. women’s national gymnastics team who pleaded guilty in 2017 to abusing children, in which he suggested President Donald Trump shared their “love” of young girls.
After that letter was released, the DOJ took to X, formerly Twitter, and claimed that the Epstein-Nassar letter was fake, saying the signature did not match Epstein’s handwriting and the letter was “postmarked three days after Epstein’s death out of Northern Virginia, when he was jailed in New York.”
The DOJ then said that “this fake letter serves as a reminder that just because a document is released by the Department of Justice does not make the allegations or claims within the document factual.”
It concluded the post by declaring, “Nevertheless, the DOJ will continue to release all material required by law.”
The letter was among thousands of additional documents released Tuesday after the Justice Department failed to meet a Friday deadline to release all files.
