Organizers behind a 12-foot statue depicting President Donald Trump and the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein holding hands have claimed they got a new permit for the statue after it was removed, but that it had been revoked again “without explanation.”
The story of the pop-up statue has been just as tumultuous as the Epstein files saga itself. As the Trump administration continues to face backlash over its handling of documents related to the sex offender, the scrutiny the president has faced for his decades-old relationship with Epstein has piled on.
