After the Wall Street Journal reported in a letter to Jeffrey Epstein from 2003 on Thursday evening, which included Donald Trump's name and outline of a naked woman, the president's rejection was comprehensive.

“I never wrote a picture in my life. I don't draw any pictures of women,” he told the journal. “It's not my language. It's not my words.”

“I don't draw pictures,” he later wrote about the social truth.

However, a charity director announced that Trump sent her two signed drawings for a charity in Ohio. And news reports indicate that other drawings were sold by him for thousands of dollars.

Dr. Lowery Lockard, who carried out the auction for Hattie Larlham-a non-profit foundation-said that she was “shocked and impressed” about the artistic nature of the reality show moderator Donald Trumps Doodles at the time.

“It was someone we turned to,” said Lockard. “It was just not really something I would have expected.”

The drawings raise questions about Trump's loud rejection, which he draws. (His eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., also said that he had never seen his father Doodle.) Trump also denied that he wrote the letter from which the journal had checked and was part of a collection of notes that gave Epstein for his 50th birthday.

In an explanation for this story, the spokesman for the White House said Steven Cheung: “As the president said, Wall Street Journal printed fake news and does not draw any things like the outlet described.”

In 2004 Lockard collected around 150 drawings of celebrities for the auction and sent them a “Doodle Kit” in which they could draw everything they liked. Trump suitable for his big city mogul image, Trump chose the New York City skyline for his doodles.

According to Lockard, the celebrities sent the doodles back with a signed waiver, authenticated them and allowed them to be sold to auction. “They sign a publication that they are aware that we will sell them,” said Lockard, who said that she still has Trump's authentication.

When he was asked after Trump's rejection to Wall Street Journal that he never wrote a picture of being at a loss.

“'Written a picture' is a little different from drawing a Doodle. I think I'm not exactly sure what this terminology means. But I mean I meanPresent We have an authentic signature. It was authenticated when we received it. ”

Lockard said that Trump's drawing was made with a golden Sharpie.

Other trumps have also found their way into auction houses.

A drawing of a tree with a dollar that falls from it signed “Donald TrumpPresent”With a gold Sharpie, Sharpie sold Sharpie for 8,500 US dollars and a drawing of the Empire State building for 16,000 US dollars at Julien's auctions in Los Angeles in 2017. In the same year, a minimalistic sketch of New York City with a gold marker $ 29,184.

One of the drawings auctioned in 2004 was then donated to another charity and will be auctioning in September. The winner receives what Lockard describes as a signed authentication letter from Trump.

“This should attach a pretty penny,” said Lockard, who intends to start the bid of $ 10,000. “It's a great doodle.”
