The drawing that definitely doesn't exist appears to exist: For Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday, famous figures wrote him naughty poems and drew him dirty pictures; the House Oversight Committee released the book yesterday after it subpoenaed Epstein's estate.
It features, as you might expect, a cartoon of Epstein lounging in a beach chair getting a massage from four topless women; drawings of zebras and lions humping; a poem commenting with surprise that, at age 50, Epstein "has avoided the penitentiary"; another alluding to when he discovered the "Maxwell teen-age daughter" in the '70s (referring to Ghislaine Maxwell); one submission by Bill Clinton lauding Epstein's "childlike curiosity"; and another about pulling down a woman's pants to grope her and discovering some other man's hand already there.
"Most notably, the book contains the now well-publicized poem to Mr. Epstein that bears Donald J. Trump's name," reports The New York Times. "It is framed by a silhouette drawing of naked women and includes what appears to be Mr. Trump's signature. Elsewhere there is an oversized check that purports to be Mr. Epstein jokingly selling a 'fully depreciated' woman to Mr. Trump for $22,500." Trump has in recent months denied the existence of such an image and instructed his press secretary to do the same; now the image (including the "Donald" signature in the place of pubic hair) is widely available, and has been analyzed by The Wall Street Journal, compared with other letters Trump sent from around that same time (2003).
