Political cartoons for November 21

Friday’s political cartoons include Epstein Files review, oil rigs, Jamal Khashoggi's assassination, and more

This is a three panel cartoon that is read from top to bottom. The first panel features a newscaster saying, “President Trump has signed legislation for the Justice Department to release the Jeffrey Epstein files.” The next panel shows the newscaster with two elephants who look closely at papers. “Will the public get to see the files soon?” says the newscaster. In the final panel, an elephant responds, “Just a minute. We’re checking to see if any of our big donors are on the list.”
