Comment on Where can I find Trumps drawing in the letter to Epstein?

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 imagines 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
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?

You’re right, best I can tell, WSJ only described the image, but has not published it. Here is an archive of the WSJ piece that Trump is suing about: archive.is/IUWMu

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.
