Trump hits back against ‘bawdy' Epstein birthday message report

Independent6 days ago
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.
