Trump says he doesn't draw, in relation to Epstein letter, but auctioned sketches suggest otherwise
Drawings attributed to Trump, typically simple cityscapes or landmarks rendered in black marker and signed with his name, were donated to various charities in the early 2000s and have fetched thousands of dollars in later sales, the paper added. In his 2008 book "Trump Never Give Up: How I Turned My Biggest Challenges Into Success", however, Trump acknowledged his artistic contributions.
The focus on drawings comes as President Trump is under pressure, including from his supporters, to release the Jeffrey Epstein files. The Justice Department had announced last week it would not release any more evidence about the sex trafficking investigation into Epstein, who killed himself behind bars while awaiting trial in 2019.
TRUMP SUING WSJ OVER EPSTEIN LETTER LINK
On Thursday, reporting by the Wall Street Journal described a sexually suggestive letter and an explicit drawing that the newspaper says bore Trump's name, which was included in a 2003 album for Epstein's 50th birthday. Trump denied writing the letter, calling it 'false, malicious, and defamatory.'
"I don't draw pictures," Trump wrote on Truth Social this week, disputing a Wall Street Journal report about a 2003 birthday greeting for late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that bore Trump's name and featured a sexually suggestive drawing.

Jim Lovell, commander of NASA's Apollo 13 moon mission, dies at 97
WASHINGTON: American astronaut Jim Lovell, commander of the failed 1970 Apollo 13 mission to the moon that nearly ended in disaster but became an inspirational saga of survival, has died at the age of 97, NASA said on Friday (Aug 8). Hollywood star Tom Hanks portrayed Lovell in director Ron Howard's acclaimed 1995 film Apollo 13, which recounted the mission that was planned as humankind's third lunar landing. An onboard explosion en route to the moon put the lives of Lovell and crew mates Jack Swigert and Fred Haise in grave danger. The three endured frigid, cramped conditions, dehydration and hunger for three-and-a-half days while working with Mission Control in Houston to find solutions to bring the crippled spacecraft safely back to Earth. 'A 'successful failure' describes exactly what (Apollo) 13 was – because it was a failure in its initial mission – nothing had really been accomplished,' Lovell told Reuters in 2010. 'It was a great success in the ability of people to take an almost-certain catastrophe and turn it into a successful recovery.' THE CRISIS IN SPACE Apollo 13 launched on Apr 11, 1970, nine months after Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon during Apollo 11. Days before liftoff, backup lunar module pilot Ken Mattingly was replaced by rookie astronaut Swigert after being exposed to German measles. The mission proceeded smoothly for two days until, shortly after a TV broadcast from space, an exposed wire in an oxygen tank caused an explosion 320,000 km from Earth. The accident ruined the crew's chances of landing on the moon and threatened their lives. Swigert radioed Mission Control: 'Houston, we've had a problem here' later adapted in the film to Hanks' famous line, 'Houston, we have a problem.' With power failing, the crew abandoned the command module for the lunar module, designed for two men, and used it as a lifeboat for the journey home. Temperatures plunged, water was rationed and a filter was improvised to remove carbon dioxide. The crew altered course to loop once around the moon before splashing down in the Pacific Ocean near Samoa on Apr 17, 1970. FOUR SPACEFLIGHTS Apollo 13 was Lovell's fourth and final space mission. He first flew in 1965 on Gemini 7, the first link-up of two manned spacecraft, followed by Gemini 12 in 1966. In December 1968, Lovell flew on Apollo 8, the first mission to orbit the moon, reading from the Book of Genesis during a Christmas Eve broadcast to Earth. Lovell never walked on the moon, but a lunar crater bears his name. He retired from NASA in 1973, later working in the maritime and telecommunications industries. A LIFE BEYOND NASA Lovell co-authored the 1994 book Lost Moon: The Perilous Voyage of Apollo 13, which became the basis for Howard's film. He made a cameo in the movie as the commander of the US Navy recovery ship that greets the returning astronauts. Born in Cleveland on Mar 25, 1928, Lovell was five when his father died and his family moved to Milwaukee. He became interested in space as a teenager, graduated from the US Naval Academy in 1952 and became a test pilot before joining NASA's astronaut corps in 1962.

Take-Two soars after forecast signals mobile gaming rebound
Take-Two Interactive Software shares rose 5.6 per cent on Friday as the Zynga owner's strong forecast signaled a rebound in the mobile gaming industry following a years-long post-pandemic slump. Once seen as the video-gaming industry's next big growth driver, the mobile market sputtered over the past few years as people spent more time outdoors after lockdowns and high inflation deterred non-essential spending by consumers. That left investors waiting for payoffs from mobile gaming deals such as Take-Two's 2022 buyout of Zynga for $12.7 billion. But Take-Two's raised annual forecast and better-than-expected results for the April-June period offered the clearest sign yet that the U.S. mobile-gaming market was bouncing back. "We've seen so much momentum in a lot of our big titles and some of our titles that have really started to take off since the fourth quarter of last year and into this first quarter," finance chief Lainie Goldstein said. Take-Two, whose fiscal year runs from April to March, makes puzzle-based mobile titles such as "Match Factory," "Color Block Jam" and "Toon Blast." Those games helped it post a nearly 17 per cent jump in bookings - a revenue indicator - in its fiscal first quarter. "Raises after first-quarter beats are generally rare in this industry, particularly with major releases still to come, but the ongoing strength in mobile leaves ample room for a simple passthrough of the upside," TD Cowen analysts said. The mobile-gaming market is also benefiting from the growing integration of live-service features into titles to keep players spending. That helped in-app purchase revenue rise to $81.7 billion last year from $78.6 billion in 2023, Sensor Tower data showed. Take-Two is set to add over $2 billion to its market cap if premarket gains hold. Apart from the mobile business, Take-Two has large premium titles in its pipeline including "Mafia: The Old Country," set to release on Friday, as well as "Borderlands 4" and "Grand Theft Auto VI," all of which are expected to sell millions of copies. "Between Take-Two's current performance, their upcoming releases like Mafia and Borderlands, and, of course, GTA VI, the firm should be optimistic," said Joost van Dreunen, games professor at NYU Stern School of Business.

Lucasfilm and Disney settle with actor Gina Carano following her firing from The Mandalorian
Actor Gina Carano has settled her federal lawsuit against Lucasfilm and its parent The Walt Disney Co over her claim that she was fired from The Mandalorian in 2021 for expressing right-wing views on social media. The specific terms of the agreement were not made available. 'Ms Carano was always well respected by her directors, co-stars, and staff, and she worked hard to perfect her craft while treating her colleagues with kindness and respect," Lucasfilm said in a statement. "With this lawsuit concluded, we look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future.' The two sides stipulated in a federal court filing Thursday (Aug 7) that the case should be dismissed with prejudice, meaning it can't be refiled. A judge still needs to formally dismiss it. The case had been scheduled to go to trial in Los Angeles in February of next year. The lawsuit, filed in a federal court in California last year, alleged Carano was wrongfully terminated from the Star Wars galaxy Disney+ series after two seasons due to a post likening the treatment of American conservatives to the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany. Her posts were widely criticised online and spurred a trending #FireGinaCarano hashtag. "I'd like to thank you all for your unrelenting support throughout my life and career, you've been the heartbeat that has kept my story alive. I hope to make you proud," Carano wrote in a statement Thursday. 'I am excited to flip the page and move onto the next chapter. My desires remain in the arts, which is where I hope you will join me.' Carano thanked Elon Musk for helping fund the lawsuit 'and asking for nothing in return". The suit had alleged that the 43-year-old actor was fired because she 'dared voice her own opinions' against an 'online bully mob who demanded her compliance with their extreme progressive ideology'. Carano is a former mixed martial artist who played the recurring character Cara Dune on the show, which launched in 2019 and ran for three seasons. A feature film starring Pedro Pascal and Sigourney Weaver, The Mandalorian And Grogu, is set for release next summer.
