"Even though I barely know you"
"May every day be another wonderful secret"
A number of drawings produced by President Donald Trump have resurfaced after it was reported that he sent a "bawdy" letter and sketch to Jeffrey Epstein to mark his 50th birthday.
In response to a Wall Street Journal report that he sent a letter and sketch of a naked woman to Epstein in 2003, five years before the financier was convicted of child sexual abuse, Trump said, "I never wrote a picture in my life."
The Wall Street Journal declined to comment when contacted by Newsweek, while the White House said it had nothing to add beyond Trump's public statements.
On Truth Social, the president added: "The Wall Street Journal printed a FAKE letter, supposedly to Epstein. These are not my words, not the way I talk. Also, I don't draw pictures. I told Rupert Murdoch it was a Scam, that he shouldn't print this Fake Story. But he did, and now I'm going to sue his ass off, and that of his third rate newspaper. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
Trump previously sold a number of his drawings at charity auctions. One sketch of the Empire State Building bearing Trump's signature was sold at an auction in Florida around 1995 and put up for sale again in 2017, The Guardian reported at the time.
Trump also produced a signed drawing of the New York skyline in 2004 for the Capuchin Food Pantry's benefit Doodle for Hunger. It was later resold by the auction house Sotheby's.
In 2017, the BBC reported that another sketch of the New York skyline that Trump had produced for a 2005 charity auction had resold for $30,000.
On X, Adam Kinzinger, a former Republican U.S. representative and Trump critic, shared nine sketches of skyscrapers or the New York skyline that Trump had signed. He added: "Trump loves to draw. Just saying."
