Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump publicly clashed over her push to release Jeffrey Epstein-related files, as Republicans and Trump supporters divided over Greene and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. A House petition had secured enough signatures to force a vote, which was expected the following week.
The article reports that Trump withdrew his support for Greene and criticized her publicly after she advocated releasing Epstein-related files. Greene responded by sharing texts to Trump and saying his attacks were intended to intimidate Republicans ahead of an expected House vote. She also said the files matter to Epstein’s victims and pointed to Trump’s past support from her and other Republicans.
Republicans and commentators expressed support for Greene or criticized her, while some Trump supporters called for Wiles to be removed from her job. The article says Thomas Massie led the effort to release the files and secured signatures from Greene, Lauren Boebert, Nancy Mace and House Democrats; Speaker Mike Johnson was limited in his ability to stop the vote after the petition reached half of the House.
