Scoop: White House contacted Secret Service about MTG, sources say
Axios ^ | January 9, 2026 | Alex Isenstadt

Posted on 01/09/2026 7:36:57 AM PST by mbrfl

The relationship between President Trump and former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene grew so poisonous that the White House told the Secret Service that Greene may have tipped off Code Pink protesters about his surprise visit last fall to a D.C. restaurant she recommended, two sources on Trump's team tell Axios.

That episode — which involved a chaotic confrontation between anti-war activists and Trump — embarrassed the president and intensified concerns in the White House about his safety, a year after he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt. Why it matters: Trump aides view the Joe's Seafood debacle as a point of no return in his relationship with Greene, a Trump ally-turned-critic who left office this week.

Greene told Axios that any suggestion she revealed Trump's dinner plans was "an absolute lie, a dangerous lie. I would never do that." She said she recommended the restaurant to Trump but didn't know when he would go there. Greene added that only the fancy lobbyist hangout — a few blocks from the White House, at 15th and H NW — and Trump aides knew of the reservation. She said: "The story you should be writing is why didn't the Secret Service sweep the restaurant," and have metal detectors at the door? It's unclear whether Greene is being investigated by the Secret Service, which declined to comment. Greene didn't respond when asked whether the Secret Service had contacted her.

Zoom in: Trump's Sept. 9 outing to Joe's with Vice President Vance and several Cabinet members was part of an effort to show the president's deployment of National Guard troops had made D.C. streets safer.

Protesters with the liberal group Code Pink got within feet of Trump's table ...

She’s always seemed so trustworthy.

Taylor-Greene is just another post menapausal lady who has gone overtly crazy. Its a very common occurence. It should not be a shock when it occurs in a public figure.

Do I believe it?

Axios wrote it, which puts in the no column.

However, I do believe Shakespeare when he wrote, Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, which puts in the yes column.

Is the inference from Axios that DJT used the USSS to investigate a possible security leak that may have endangered both POTUS and VPOTUS by a sitting member of the HoR or that DJT used USSS to attack one of his enemies?”

God forbid the USSS look into any possible threat to POTUS . . .

Code Pink was tipped off by somebody, putting Trump’s life in danger.

Seems like all these people-—Nancy Mace, MTG, Anna Paulina Luna-—are just borderline unhinged. Remember when Mace attended that late night vote in her pajamas?

I hate to use the word, but attention “whores” comes to mind.

It's not beyond imagination or consideration that Code Pink had lookouts at the restaurant after Greene told a member she recommended it.
Then all they had to do was stake out the place and send a blast call for a crowd when he arrived.

I’m not so sure she was a peach before menopause, either. I think she’s your average IQ opportunistic and phony female that has now gone around the bend, probably from surrounding herself with sycophants.

In her defense, she is getting paid to do all this stuff.

I’m slow reading Nancy Mace’s book “In the Company of Men: A Woman at the Citadel” at a few pages at a time it will take a while, if I can manage it at all.

So far Mace’s describing herself at the Citadel is far worse than I thought possible, it is like listening to a self absorbed 16 year old barbie talking about herself non-stop while you are chained to a chair in her room full of pink furniture and stuffed animals.

Well if that's her story she should stick to it. Might work with a jury of fraudsters.

This thread is about Congresswoman Greene, not Congresswoman Boebert.

Anna Paulina Luna ‘very confident’ interdimensional beings exist

GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna told Joe Rogan she has viewed evidence of interdimensional beings on Earth.

Luna, who leads a task force for the declassification of federal secrets created by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, joined Rogan on his eponymous podcast that was released Wednesday.

The Floridian told Rogan she met F-15 pilots who had likely encounters with UAPs while she was working as an airfield manager at Portland International Guard.

While not viewing portals or UAPs herself, Luna said she had seen photographic evidence, historical evidence and spoken to Air Force pilots who alleged the Air Force was covering up UAP sightings.

“There’s definitely something that I can tell you with confidence, that we don’t know how to explain currently,” Luna told Rogan.

Luna added she believes there are interdimensional beings that “can operate through the timespaces that we currently have.”

She also believes that the U.S. has reverse-engineered technology to replicate crafts made by those who are not mankind.

“Without getting into classified conversations, there have been incidences where I believe very credible people have reported that there have been movements outside of time and space,” Luna said.

“Based on the photos that I’ve seen, I’m very confident that there’s things out there that have not been created by mankind.”
