Скачать или смотреть Trump-Epstein Statue Returns to National Mall as Activists Demand 'all files' be released

A statue featuring United States President Donald Trump and convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein holding hands reappeared on the National Mall in Washington DC, after being removed just days earlier.

Footage captured on Thursday shows the 12-foot-tall bronze-painted statue standing near the US Capitol, accompanied by a sign reading, "In honour of Friendship Month, we celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his 'closest friend' Jeffrey Epstein."

Some activists are seen holding signs nearby, such as 'Free Speech' and 'Release all Epstein files.'

The statue, titled 'Best Friends Forever', was created by the anonymous art collective ‘The Secret Handshake’ and first installed on September 23.

Despite holding a permit until September 28, the National Park Service removed it the following day, citing permit breaches. The artists claimed the removal was politically motivated and an attack on free speech.

The reinstallation on October 2 comes after the collective obtained a new permit. The National Park Service has not commented on the statue’s return, but the government shutdown is expected to limit enforcement.

The work features Trump's past association with Jeffrey Epstein, who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. The late billionaire had previously pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution, including from a minor, and was accused of running a large network of underage girls.

Earlier, US media reports uncovered alleged messages and drawings from Trump to Epstein, which the president has denied and legally challenged.
