LOS ANGELES — A sketch of the Empire State Building drawn by President Donald Trump has sold at auction for $16,000.
Julien’s Auctions says the 12-inch-by-9-inch black marker depiction of the iconic New York City skyscraper was created by Trump for a charity auction in Florida during the time he opened his Mar-a-Lago estate as a private club in 1995.
