Marjorie Taylor Greene says she will resign from Congress on 5 January 2026, after a public feud with President Donald Trump over her calls to release Jeffrey Epstein-related documents and other policy disagreements.
Greene said she would leave Congress on 5 January 2026. In her resignation statement, she said she did not want her district to endure a primary challenge backed by Trump and described his “traitor” accusation as hurtful. Trump called her resignation “great news for the country” and said he would still appreciate her service.
The article traces their falling-out to Greene’s calls to release Epstein-related documents and her criticism of Trump’s handling of living costs and tariffs. Trump had opposed releasing the documents, then reversed course and signed a bill requiring the Justice Department to release them within 30 days. The article says Greene’s departure will narrow the Republicans’ margin in the House.
