• In July the Wall Street Journal published letters for Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday that included a lewd drawing allegedly by Trump.
• He has denied involvement, filing a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Journal and its publisher.
• Since the early 2000s he has donated simple marker sketches of New York City skylines to hunger-relief charities.
• His cityscape doodles have sold for thousands at auction, with a 1995 Empire State Building sketch fetching $16,000 in 2017.
