12-foot Trump-Epstein statue in Titanic pose appears near U.S. Capitol

Mar 10th 2026

A group called The Secret Handshake erected a 12-foot statue of President Trump embracing Jeffrey Epstein near the U.S. Capitol, accompanied by large banners and a placard linking the two men as questions persist after recent Justice Department releases.

  • A 12-foot statue by the group The Secret Handshake shows President Trump embracing convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in a pose evoking Titanic characters Jack and Rose.
  • The installation includes a placard that links their relationship to luxurious travel, raucous parties, and secret nude sketches and references a racy birthday card tied to Epstein.
  • Several 10-foot banners with photos of Trump and Epstein and a partially redacted, agency-like logo flank the statue.
  • The Secret Handshake said it installed the banners in part as a response to large Trump banners placed on federal buildings in Washington.
  • The Justice Department this week released three FBI interview summaries with unverified allegations that Epstein introduced a woman to Trump in the mid-1980s when she was 13 and that Trump sexually assaulted her.
  • Trump has denied wrongdoing and said released files absolve him, and the White House did not immediately comment.
