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. The White House had not responded to her post.
Greene was one of four House Republicans who joined Democrats in signing a petition to force a vote on releasing the files. Trump called the Epstein-related controversy a “hoax” and said he would support a primary challenger to Greene.
