A statue depicting U.S. President Donald Trump alongside Jeffrey Epstein has been placed near the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The bronze sculpture, which has been spray-painted, features a plaque at its base stating, "We celebrate the long-standing friendship between President Donald J. Trump and his 'closest friend,' Jeffrey Epstein."

The identity of those responsible for installing the statue remains unknown, according to a report by The Guardian.
President Trump and financier Jeffrey Epstein were previously known to have been acquaintances, though their relationship ended several years before Epstein's death in 2019. Epstein, who was convicted of sex offences, faced additional charges related to the trafficking of underage girls at the time of his death. He had pleaded not guilty, and the case was closed following his death in prison.
