Marjorie Taylor Greene called President Trump’s opposition to releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein a “huge miscalculation” and said she supports the victims. Greene had joined a bipartisan discharge petition forcing a House vote on releasing Justice Department materials.
In an interview on Friday, Greene said she did not understand Trump’s opposition to releasing the Epstein investigation materials and said she stood with Epstein’s victims. She also said she did not believe Trump had done anything wrong, citing statements she attributed to victims. Greene was one of four House Republicans who signed a discharge petition requiring a vote on a measure to compel the Justice Department to release materials; the vote was expected the following week.
Trump called the focus on Epstein a “hoax” pushed by Democrats and later urged the Justice Department and FBI to investigate Epstein’s ties to Democrats and financial institutions. The article also describes records released by the House Oversight and Reform Committee, including emails from Epstein that referred to Trump, and gives background on Epstein’s criminal cases.
