Marjorie Taylor Greene said she regrets participating in “toxic politics” amid her feud with President Donald Trump over the release of Jeffrey Epstein-related files. Greene also said Trump’s attacks had put her and her family at risk, while Trump disputed that her life was in danger.
Greene said she wants politics to become less hostile and called for people to respect one another despite disagreements. She also said she supports releasing the Epstein files and standing with survivors of abuse and trafficking. The House was expected to vote on releasing the files in the coming days.
Trump had withdrawn his endorsement of Greene and criticized her publicly, then said House Republicans should vote to release the files. Greene said her family received hoax pizza deliveries and that her construction business received a bomb threat after Trump’s remarks; Trump said he did not think her life was in danger.
