The "latest controversy" in the Oval Office is a statue that has been "spotted" there, according to a new report.
Donald Trump's rally where a wannabe assassin grazed Trump's ear with a bullet became a flashpoint of the election, and now it's creating drama in the White House, the Daily Beast reported.
Emell Derra Adolphus, a news reporter for the outlet, said over the weekend that a "statuette of the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, has been spotted in the Oval Office."

The Beast goes on to report on photos seen of the small statue.
"In Oval Office photos, the small sculpture can be seen mounted on a table next to the president’s Resolute Desk. It depicts the moment Trump raised his fist in the air and began chanting, 'fight, fight, fight,' to rally attendees after would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks‘s bullet grazed his ear on July 13, 2024," the report states.
Going further, the Beast reports that, "The sculpture also depicts an American flag and three Secret Service agents—including director Sean Curran ushering Trump offstage."
"Artist Stan Watts reportedly plans to create a 9-foot tall version of the moment in bronze, according to the Trump Statute Project’s website. The image of Trump’s raised fist has become a rallying cry for Trump’s MAGA base, and Trump has leaned into its popularity with photos of the moment printed on MAGA memorabilia available on Trumpstore.com," the report states. "The statuette is the latest controversy over Trump’s Oval Office decor. His mug shot, taken August 24, 2023, after he was indicted on racketeering and related charges, was spotted hanging on a wall just before the entrance to the Oval Office."
