A statue showing Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein holding hands has reappeared in Washington D.C. The statue, initially titled "Best Friends Forever," was taken down last week but was put back up by an anonymous artist group called "The Secret Handshake."

The statue was damaged when it was first removed, but it was repaired.
