I am trying to find the drawing Trump sent to Epstein. Does anyone know where to find it?

    I have not been following the situation very closely so I would confirm this with someone else, but I believe the actual letter has not been made public. A few images have been floating around that are “artist’s interpretations”, and occasionally these have been presented as Trump’s actual drawing in various forums.

    Again, could be off, been a busy week this is just what I gathered from skimming comments

          I have seen this picture, but it has not been released by the WSJ, CNN, NYT, etc. The WSJ article describes the letter and this matches the description, but this is a recreation based on the description. What OP is asking for is why can’t they find a scan of the actual letter and the reason is because it hasn’t been published.

      To provide additional context about “artist interpretation”, this is from the WSJ archive link:

      The letter bearing Trump’s name, which was reviewed by the Journal, is bawdy—like others in the album. It contains several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker. A pair of small arcs denotes the woman’s breasts, and the future president’s signature is a squiggly “Donald” below her waist, mimicking pubic hair.

        Do we have any direct confirmation that this is the letter and not one of the recreations that has been floating around?

    Here

    Edit: note this may not actually be the letter. As people have pointed out below this may be someone passing off an interpretation of it as the legitimate thing.

        No it’s not, WSJ didn’t release it. People are just very confident that whatever artistic interpretation of it they saw is “really it” and are getting upvoted for some reason.

        I like your optimism, but no, that really is it.

        Edit: I see I was mistaken. Fair enough. Didn’t know it hadn’t actually been released. Sorry for spreading misinformation.

          I really don’t think it is. For one thing, there’s texted added to it that certainly wasn’t part of the original. Then there’s the matter of multiple versions of a similar line-drawing with text in the center floating around. And then finally, no mainstream media has released the image. It seems like someone just mocked this up and posted it on twitter.

          Although I’d be happy to be proven wrong.

    It hasn’t been released yet. WSJ only got to look at the original which I believe is still in the DOJs possession.
