Marjorie Taylor Greene says Donald Trump’s online attacks have prompted threats against her, while accusing him of trying to intimidate Republicans before a House vote on releasing Jeffrey Epstein-related files. Trump escalated his criticism and suggested support for a primary challenger.
Greene said she had received warnings about her safety and blamed Trump’s online criticism for prompting threats. Trump criticized her in several social media posts, and Greene accused him of trying to intimidate Republicans ahead of a House vote on releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

31 OUTLETSTrump withdrew his endorsement of Marjorie Taylor Greene, criticized her and said he could back a primary challenger. Coverage linked their dispute to her push to release Epstein-related files. Left-leaning outlets frame Trump's post as an attack, against the backdrop of Greene's policy disputes and Epstein-file push.
