In the latest of a series of performance art pieces making light of the friendship between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, a pair of activist groups has unfurled “a massive photo of President Donald Trump and late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein,” the Daily Beast reported.

The two groups, known as Everyone Hates Elon and Glasgow Actions Team, collaborated on what they call “the world’s largest Trump and Epstein photo.”

“Hey @realdonaldtrump don’t look out the window, the world’s largest photo of you with Jeffrey Epstein just arrived on your doorstep. As much as you redact the files, we know the truth,” the Everyone Hates Elon group said in their Instagram post.

Everyone Hates Elon is the same group that followed Trump around during his visit to Scotland earlier this year, including one that featured a car with a picture of Trump/Epstein, as well as an appearance of the same large poster near where the president was staying. And now it’s been brought to Washington, near the U.S. Capitol.

The arrival of the photo follows the release of the latest cache of Epstein-related materials, a series of photos released by Democrats on a House Committee earlier this year.

“Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released 19 photos on Friday morning and then later published nearly 80 more, which they said are part of more than 95,000 images the US congressional committee has received from Epstein’s estate after a subpoena,” the BBC said of the photo release. “The photos include never-before-seen images of Epstein on his private island and pictures of him with high-profile figures like US President Donald Trump.”

The Justice Department has a deadline, December 19, for releasing all of the Epstein files in the government’s possession.

The cache of files also includes a picture of a “Trump Condom.” Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon also appears in many of the photos, as does filmmaker Woody Allen.
