From MSNBC.

A statue of President Donald Trump holding hands with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which was unveiled Tuesday on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., was removed by U.S. Park Police.
A plaque on the statue, titled “Best Friends Forever,” read: “In Honor of Friendship Month we celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his ‘closest friend,’ Jeffrey Epstein.” Below the figures were two additional plaques that quoted the birthday message to Epstein on his 50th birthday, attributed to Trump, that was revealed by Democrats on the U.S. House Oversight Committee.
Jen Psaki has the latest on the removal of the statue.
