Marjorie Taylor Greene Faces Threats Amid Epstein Files Fallout as Trump Pulls Support

A deepening rift has emerged between former President Donald Trump and Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of his most vocal allies in Congress, as the fallout from the Epstein files continues to rock Washington. The political break-up, unfolding rapidly over the weekend, has surprised many on Capitol Hill.

Trump Publicly Breaks Ties

During an interview aboard Air Force One, CBS White House Correspondent Willie James Inman reported that President Trump announced he would no longer support Marjorie Taylor Greene. Trump’s criticism was direct and public, referring to Greene as “Marjorie Traitor Greene” in a Truth Social post, and calling her a “ranting lunatic” in another. He even suggested he might back a challenger to Greene’s congressional seat, stating, “I’m no longer much of a fan.”

Greene Responds, Cites Threats and Principles

Greene responded forcefully on social media, expressing disappointment and concern over Trump’s withdrawal of support. She wrote, “I never thought that fighting to release the Epstein files, defending women who were victims of rape, and fighting to expose the web of rich powerful elites would have caused this, but here we are.” Greene has been a staunch supporter of Trump, frequently appearing with him at campaign events and rallies.

In the aftermath of Trump’s comments, Greene revealed she has been facing threats, further intensifying the drama surrounding the split.

Epstein Files at the Center of the Feud

The disagreement comes ahead of an upcoming House vote to compel the release of more Epstein files, which detail connections between Jeffrey Epstein and numerous prominent individuals. Trump dismissed the vote as a “distraction for Republicans and a hoax,” telling CBS News, “I don’t care about it, released or not. But I think if you’re going to do it, then you have to go into Epstein’s friends.”

Shifting the focus, Trump directed the Department of Justice to investigate Epstein’s ties to top Democrats, including former President Bill Clinton. A spokesperson for Clinton dismissed the move as “noise meant to distract from real issues.”

Victims and Public Reaction

Former victims of Epstein expressed concern in the wake of these developments, as the political fight threatens to overshadow efforts to seek justice and accountability for Epstein’s crimes.

A Divided GOP and Uncertain Future

The feud between Trump and Greene marks a significant shift in the Republican landscape. Greene’s willingness to challenge powerful interests by advocating for the release of the Epstein files has put her at odds with Trump, leading to threats and uncertainty about her political future.

As the House prepares for its critical vote and investigations continue, the fallout from the Epstein files remains a major source of tension and controversy in Washington, with implications for both party unity and the broader quest for justice.
