The Trump-Epstein statue is back on the National Mall, days after its abrupt removal

A statue of President Trump and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein holding hands returned to the National Mall on Thursday, in full view of the U.S. Capitol.

The statue honors Trump's "long-lasting bond" with Epstein, which the president denies. The National Park Service took down the statue after one day last week, saying it didn't comply with its permit.
