A 12-foot-tall statue of President Donald Trump and pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein holding hands has reappeared once again in Washington D.C., after being torn down by federal authorities twice already.

The statue, which drew national attention after being removed from the National Mall, has popped up yet again, this time outside the Busboys and Poets restaurant in the U Street Corridor.

It comes as the White House has scrambled to deal with the release of tens of thousands of messages from Epstein’s estate by lawmakers, including emails between the financier and his partner-in-crime, Ghislaine Maxwell, mentioning the president by name. Trump did not send or receive any of the emails and has not been accused of any wrongdoing.

“Much like Trump’s name in an Epstein email dump, we have popped our head out to say an unannounced hello,” the group behind the piece, The Secret Handshake, told The Daily Beast Thursday.
