Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Tuesday that she has faced more pressure over a petition to trigger a House vote compelling the release of files linked to Jeffrey Epstein than any other issue.
“My signature is on that discharge petition, and there has not been another issue where I have ever received more pressure than that one, and I’m pretty much shocked by it. I can’t imagine — I’ve never understood how this is an issue,” Greene told NewsNation’s Blake Burman on “The Hill.”
“I think when it comes to women being raped, especially when they were 14 years old, that’s pretty black and white,” she added
The Georgia representative is one of only four Republican House members to sign a discharge petition that would force a vote on the full release of the Epstein case files. Greene continues to be a staunch backer of the president, but she has repeatedly broken with her party during his second term, on both the Epstein files and foreign policy issues.
She has previously stated getting “a lot” of pushback from the White House over supporting a discharge petition.
In recent months, the Trump administration has faced intense backlash over its handling of files linked to Epstein from both sides of the aisle.

Funny world....
So Deep State had Epstein evidence on Trump during the 2024 Presidential election cycle and didn’t release it?
Seriously?
Comey, Brennan, Strzok, Page, Clapper, Jack Smith, Andrew Weissman, McCabe, and Rosenstein all hid the evidence that would take down Trump.
Yeah, crack is really bad thing.
What’s left that isn’t sealed?
The same people in the FIB that investigated it, are the same ones that hid it for 15 years
Through the time a certain Cankled One was SoS and was prone to having files get disappeared, and knew damned well what Bubba was up to. I always figured that a few of those going girls were for her
IMO, there’s no earthshattering revelations left to be found that haven’t already been know or are sealed by the judges
Just my two cents
I don't know how you got that from the article.
MTG simply said the Trump White House didn't want the files released.
Why not just accept that, and leave it there? Why start speculating about motive and "Deep State" conspiracies?
People love gossip
maggie green doesn’t get it does she.
ok, i’ll take a stab at it.
my theory: gopes in the uniparty like to use sexual impropriety/issues to smear conservatives **they** especially want to ban from the GOP. those true Christian conservatives who are a threat to K-street, easy money, and corruption. so, ‘heaven forbid’ that a hobbit or deplorable tea party conservative makes it into their Congress! all of a sudden from decades ago they have a high-school or college student from their old school coming forward to claim rape. right. it has no or little effect on dems because their constituents don’t care. look at fang-fang for instance. it’s really a republican kind of weapon, because many Christian republicans care about sexual purity, and have a visceral reaction to a slimy sex scandal in the GOP.
so here’s what i think: for one thing, they don’t like it when their own are being exposed by people outside of their ‘smear the tea party candidate play book’ influence. they know who their dirty players are and they want to keep hold of them by keeping that secret sword over their heads. it’s for them to keep in reserve for use against candidates/supporters who get off the GOP reservation, too. also, when they are all smeared by Epstein, the sex smear doesn’t work as well for them. they lose the leverage over their own. so, 1. they want to keep political control of the GOP.
second, a lot of them knowingly take dirty money from sleaze bag gope supporters they don’t want exposed. then they might have to give the money back. can’t lose political ‘mother’s milk’ money. uh-uh. no way. so, 2. greed for political money.
third, some of them might actually be Epstein clients or uncomfortably connected to him in some sleazy way, and of course, they can’t have that exposed—either because, you know, then the regular GOP voters see their hypocrisy, and give them a taste of their own sex smear medicine. how come there’s still that congressional slush fund to pay off angry ex-paramours and political friends with benefits? so, 3. graft and corruption among their own.
oh well, that’s enough for starters maggie.
Yeah, I don't believe it either.
The media is pushing it now that they think they can get some traction. It is not nearly as important as many other issues that we have right now. Show some leadership Margorie. This is why we have a representative government instead of a “democracy.” Don’t be led into a foolish quagmire instead of staying the course. Stay away from the drama. Let’s save the Republic first and then we can bask in all the drama that this $hit show has to offer later.
THere’s dirt in the bag.......on Dem and RINO pedos apparently.
MTG will win the release vote.
ALL DEMOCRATS because they think that Trump is on a list!!!
She’s gone to the DARK SIDE!
As much as I want to see justice for Epstein’s victims, I find it hard to believe that people don’t have more important concerns that actually affect themselves and their loved ones.
shrugs. idk Annie, it could be a ‘dark’ thing, but, with her, it also could be that she’s just into ‘girl power’ and protecting girls right now, or she just hates all men, especially feckless GOP politicians and wants to get back at them; or both; or neither. whatever, her GOP ‘male’ caucus wants the sex corruption thing to just go away, because they perceive, rightly imho, that it hurts them more than the dems (for a number of possible reasons 3 of which i mentioned in the previous post). the GOPe is always party above all in my experience.
They’d be crazy to lose any blackmail leverage when he was coming back into office.
Stopped reading right there.
The files will not be released until the threat of being mentioned in the files can no longer be used against elected officials on both sides.
I believe hat the only reason the white house is slow walking the release is because the threat of any kind of exposure is a tool to be used to pass legislation. Why else would dirtbags like Cornyn (spit) suddenly support the BBB and get a PDJT endorsement?
In some ways it appears that The Epstein Files are more powerful than Big Pharma money. When the files have outlived their usefulness the will be published - just like the JFK assassination files, which, by the way, are still locked.
You know you’ve lost control of the narrative when you are resorting to using a Democrat mouthpiece like The Hill to buttress your propaganda!
Jeffrey Epstein went to the DARK SIDE and too many important people in high places joined him and fear exposure.
It is not Trump, but Trump is protecting somebody else and I don’t know why. That list needs to be released.
And yes, if the Deep State had any real dirt on Trump — anything ever — they would have pulled it out right before the election Nov 2024.
Trump is squeaky clean. There has never been a presidential candidate so heavily vetted and scrutinized but where the OP just came up completely empty, than Trump, because essentially he never did anything that bad. I hate that he is a womanizer but that is not unique in the annals of Jack Kennedy... um... I mean history.
