Marjorie Taylor Greene said she will resign from Congress, citing her break with President Donald Trump and her opposition to the prospect of a primary challenge. Trump welcomed the news, as their dispute over his support and the release of the Epstein files came into focus.
Greene announced that her last day in office will be January 5, 2026. She said she did not want her supporters and family to endure a primary challenge from Trump, and argued that loyalty should be mutual. She also linked their falling-out to her advocacy for releasing government files on Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump said Greene’s resignation was “great news for the country.” The article reports that he had withdrawn his support and posted attacks against her, while Greene said she had faced threats. It also says Trump signed a bill to release the Epstein files after a motion passed in the House and Senate.
