The four-panel cartoon titled Epstein Files Winter Games uses winter sports metaphors to portray the Trump administration's handling of newly released Epstein documents. In the first panel a figure performs back flips while denying the existence of a client list. The second shows a skater counting down mentions of the president's name. The third depicts speed skating past flying documents with claims of total exoneration. The final panel features a White House podium speaker declaring the matter closed amid audience demands for answers. The piece responds to the 2026 release of Epstein files and related statements by officials Pam Bondi and Kash Patel.
