Donald Trump renewed his attacks on Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene after she said his criticism had increased threats against her. Their dispute includes Greene’s call to release Justice Department records related to Jeffrey Epstein and reflects divisions among Republicans.
Greene told CNN that Trump’s criticism had prompted a surge in threats and said being called a “traitor” by the president was especially painful. Trump rejected her claim that she was in real danger and again used the “Traitor” label, while also saying he did not think anyone cared about her. Greene said she had been warned about potential threats by private security advisers.
Greene has called for the release of Justice Department records related to Jeffrey Epstein and joined three other House Republicans and Democrats in demanding a vote on the files. Trump called the controversy a partisan “hoax,” then posted that House Republicans should vote to release the files. The dispute also included Trump’s personal insults of Greene and a separate exchange in which he told a female reporter to be quiet and called her “piggy.” The White House did not comment.
