Trump-Epstein statues make return to National Mall
The controversial statue depicting Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein was reinstalled on the National Mall after permit revocations and repair efforts, organizers said.
- The Trump-Epstein friendship statue was reinstalled on the National Mall on October 2 after being abruptly removed and broken a week earlier.
- The removal followed permit revocations by the National Park Service, which claimed the statue was too large and improperly measured, though the group blamed permit errors.

- The statue stands 12 feet tall and includes plaques quoting an imagined conversation between Trump and Epstein, with visible repairs and damage still apparent on the figures and placard.
- Its return despite official opposition highlights ongoing tensions over free speech and compliance with permitting rules for politically charged public art on federal land.
