On Thursday evening, the Wall Street Journal published a bombshell report on letters allegedly gifted to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday and compiled in a 2003 album by Ghislane Maxwell, also a convicted sex offender. According to the newspaper, among the dozen of letters from Epstein’s associates was a note bearing Donald Trump‘s name outlined by a drawing of a naked woman that also enclosed the text: “We have certain things in common, Jeffrey.”

The president denied that he wrote the letter or drew the picture in an interview with the Journal on Tuesday, threatening to sue the newspaper if it published the story. “I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women,” he said, according to the Journal. “It’s not my language. It’s not my words.” Despite the president’s insistence that’s he’s never doodled during his 79 years on earth, there is plenty of evidence to the contrary.

Take for example, this mediocre sketch of the Manhattan skyline drawn by Trump that raked in $30,000 at an auction. Featuring the Trump Tower at the center, the picture was created by the now-president two decades ago for a charity event.

Then there’s the marker drawing of the Empire State Building Trump scrawled for another charity auction in 1995, which sold in 2017 for $16,000.
