DOJ Mocked For Immature Response When Asked About ‘Fake’ Epstein Letter

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.”

One of the people who responded to the post, journalist Jamie Dupree, was curious why the DOJ would “publicly release something that’s fake?” and invited his followers to offer “your answers please.”

One of the accounts responding to Dupree was the DOJ, which, according to Axios, is now being managed directly by the White House.

Spoiler alert: The DOJ’s response was a bit childish, especially the gratuitous insult to Dupree.

“Because the law requires us to release all documents related to Jeffrey Epstein in our possession so that’s what we are doing, you dope. Are you suggesting we break the law?” the DOJ wrote.

To be fair, Dupree didn’t seem too bothered by the DOJ’s insulting post.

“A badge of honor and a great Christmas gift! The Trump Department of Justice calling me a dope,” he said in response.

Many people slammed the DOJ’s response, including Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who helped lead the push to pass last month’s Epstein Files Transparency Act, which ordered the department to disclose the trove of records related to its investigations into the notorious pedophile within 30 days.

DOJ did break the law by making illegal redactions and by missing the deadline.

By the way, who’s controlling the DOJ X account on Christmas Eve and using words like “dope” to refer to reporters? https://t.co/7ITXfVsT0h

Others were also dismayed by the tone of the DOJ’s post.

Maybe I have too much TDS, but I’d prefer the judiciary to issue statements in the most neutral and professional way possible, not like a 10 year old Fortnite player https://t.co/nEiKodCKRf

The United States Department of Justice failed to redact the names of survivors in their careless release of the files in violation of the law.

Instead of working diligently to make corrections, the DOJ is calling reporters a “dope.” https://t.co/RE9VIJEJ6a

I think most Americans are in the camp the official DOJ account should not sound like a ticked off teenager

we need to stop normalizing institution / brand accounts of rather serious areas sounding like a Wendy’s https://t.co/IdayhpwTXN

The U.S. DOJ has a legitimate mental illness thinking they’re complying with the law by releasing the ███ that it did — and then to reply to those they serve in such a manner.

Wild times. https://t.co/9BuhBRh5z8

Yes, that’s what a lot of people are suggesting.

Also, it’s pretty embarrassing for government accounts to act so unprofessionally. Makes it look like our county is run by a bunch of “dopes”. https://t.co/vmqjOSQ1iV

It’s going to be extremely satisfying watching whoever runs this account at the whitehouse get perpwalked with the rest of the pedophiles. Keep it up kid! 👏 you’re going places. (Like jail.)

Save yourself and release the other 297 gigabytes. https://t.co/nARMKNnkPR
