Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene have traded public attacks as Greene criticizes his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. The dispute comes ahead of a House vote on legislation to release unclassified records related to Epstein.
Trump called Greene “wacky” and later “a traitor” in social media posts, said she should be unseated, and pledged to support a Republican opponent. Greene has criticized Trump over costs, foreign conflicts, tariffs and, most pointedly, the Epstein files; she also said he was trying to deter Republicans from supporting their release.
The House is expected to consider the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which would require the Justice Department to release unclassified records related to Epstein. Greene was one of four House Republicans who signed a discharge petition seeking the files’ release. Former Republican strategist Robert Moran said Trump was trying to pressure Greene, while noting that voters were divided on the dispute.
