Trump claims he never ‘wrote a picture.’ His sketchy Epstein lie has now been exposed
Trump hits back against ‘bawdy’ Epstein birthday message report
- Donald Trump has strongly denied that he “wrote a picture,” specifically refuting a Wall Street Journal report that alleged he drew a "bawdy" sketch for Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday.
- This denial is contradicted by evidence showing at least five sketches attributed to Trump have been sold at auction over the past decade.
- These auctioned works include drawings of the Empire State Building, a "Money Tree," and various city skylines, created between the mid-1990s and mid-2000s.
- The sketches have fetched considerable prices, with one minimalist New York City skyline piece selling for as much as $29,000 in 2017.
- Trump himself previously acknowledged donating "autographed doodles" and said "art may not be my strong point" in his 2010 book, Trump Never Give Up.
