As the news gets clogged with stories about Jimmy Kimmel and Charlie Kirk, it’s easy to forget that our government keeps refusing to release all the files about Jeffrey Epstein.

Of course, they’ve released a little bit of information. For example, they’ve basically claimed the man was totally innocent — while also revealing a birthday book that implies he’s really, really *not* innocent. However, overall, it’s fair to say that what we have now isn’t the trove of details we were promised.

For the time being, what we *do* know about Jeffrey Epstein doesn’t paint our politicians, celebrities and financial heads in a favorable light. He was apparently close with Bill Clinton, Leon Black and, most pertinent to the news of today, President Donald Trump.

That last detail may be one of the reasons why the government’s been so hesitant to release any additional information. Now, someone has called attention to that fact by putting up a statue of Trump and Epstein holding hands on the National Mall.

A bronze statue depicting Donald Trump & Jeffrey Epstein holding hands has appeared near the White House in honor of ‘Friendship Month.’

Described as a celebration of “Friendship Month,” the statue features a 12-foot tall Trump and Epstein skipping on pedestals with their hands clasped together. The installation, which was created by an anonymous group called The Secret Handshake, is going to be on display until September 28th.

For the record, the White House has already denounced the statue. But you know what would really help bring that denouncement home? Maybe releasing a couple of files!
