Donald Trump Jr. Asks Courtroom Sketch Artist To Make Him "Look Sexy"

Donald Trump Jr. asked the courtroom sketch artist to make him “look sexy” in her illustrations while appearing in court to testify in the fraud trial against his family business in New York on Thursday. The artist, Jane Rosenberg, told the story to Reuters, before Don Jr. confirmed it on social media afterward.

Rosenberg explained that Don Jr. referenced a fake drawing of former cryptocurrency CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. “I said, ‘That’s fake,'” Rosenberg told the outlet. “It doesn’t look anything like him, doesn’t look anything like Sam Bankman-Fried … and there’s no one in the courtroom drawing that.”

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - NOVEMBER 02: Donald Trump Jr. steps out for a break at former President Donald Trump's civil fraud trial on November 02, 2023 in New York City.

The former president may be forced to sell off his properties after Justice Engoron canceled his business certificates and ruled that he committed fraud for years while building his real estate empire after being sued by Attorney General Letitia James, seeking $250 million in damages. The trial will determine how much he and his companies will be penalized for the fraud. (Photo by David Dee Delgado/Getty Images)
