President Donald Trump withdrew his support for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and called her a “traitor,” escalating a public dispute linked to her support for ACA subsidies and releasing documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein. Greene said the president’s words could put her safety at risk.
Trump withdrew his support for Greene on Friday and suggested he might back a primary challenger in 2026. The article says their tensions grew after Greene supported ACA health-care subsidies and backed an effort to hold a House vote on releasing previously secret Epstein-related documents. Trump later joined calls for transparency about the documents.
Greene said the Epstein files were the source of the tension and said the country deserved transparency. She also apologized for taking part in what she called “toxic politics.” After Trump called her a “traitor,” Greene said such language could radicalize people against her and put her life in danger.
