Marjorie Taylor Greene doubles down on Epstein files amid fallout with Trump
BBC ^ | 11/16/2025 | Grace Eliza Goodwin

Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is reiterating her calls for the release of all Epstein files, after US President Donald Trump called her a "traitor" and said he no longer supports her.

Speaking to CNN's State of the Union on Sunday, Greene told host Dana Bash that while she still supports the president, she does not agree with his efforts to keep the Epstein files under wraps.

She said Trump's attacks on her are not just perpetuating toxic in-fighting in politics, but also putting her safety at risk.

"He called me a traitor, and that is so extremely wrong, and those are the types of words used that can radicalize people against me and put my life in danger," said Greene.

Greene and Trump's relationship has grown increasingly rocky in the past few weeks after Greene pushed for the Department of Justice to release all files it has on the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The tension escalated on Friday when Trump condemned Greene on Truth Social calling her a "traitor", "wacky", and a "ranting Lunatic".

All she does is "COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN", Trump wrote.

While Trump's post does not mention the Epstein files, Greene told CNN that her fallout with the president has "all come down to the Epstein files".

The House is expected to hold a vote this week on whether to release the files to the public, and Republican Rep. Thomas Massie said in an interview with ABC News on Sunday that as many as 100 GOP members could vote in favour.

Known as the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the aim of the bill is to make the justice department release all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials linked to Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump and Epstein were friends in the early 2000s. The US...

What has she done with the information that’s already been released? And, besides, how did demonicRATS release that email last week?

Trump is protecting either a big donor or one of his friends. JMO.

Democrats can safely ignore judicial rulings.

I thought the Epstein files were being held back by Democrat-appointed judges. If so, what does MTG expect Trump to do about it? As for Trump, I’d think he’d want the files released, since there’s no evidence he was on that island, and whatever friendship he had with Epstein ended with Epstein clearly hating Trump...which should be in Trump’s favor, right?

I’m missing something, but I don’t know what.

There’s been thousands of pages of information that’s already been released and not a peep from het except for what APPEARS to implicate Trump. And then when that info turns around and bites her in the #$$, she shuts her trap.

MAGA is splintering into two distinct factions, and this is a good thing.

Not all.

I don’t understand this. It’s a massive unforced error from Trump. We all know Trump did nothing wrong in relation to Epstein. So who are Trump, those two clowns at the FBI and Pam Sessions protecting?

It’s splitting into factions, the AMERICA FIRST and the ISRAEL FIRST factions. That’s it pure and simple. The ISRAEL FIRST side has the plenty of swamp creatures in it.

Exactly my question. Of the 100k pages that have been released how many of them did you read? Answer, zero.

She is pro-ObamaCare, anti-data centers ("bad for the environment"), against deporting illegal aliens who work in construction, and every criticism of her she calls "misogynist."

How is she better than AOC?

"Trump and Epstein were friends in the early 2000s."

Always leaving out the rest of the story. By the late 2000's Pres Trump ENDED any acquaintance he had with Epstein and banned him from Mar a Lago when he harassed the young ladies who worked there. And they wonder why Trump is filing a defamation suit against BBC. They never learn.

MTG has run to CNN and appeared with the witches on The View and now the BBC loves her but you think Trump is the one hiding something

It's red meat for the media folks.

And it got them to release a lot of the emails, which the left is already regretting.
