Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized President Donald Trump’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, saying it had damaged the MAGA movement and calling for the files’ release. Trump had urged Republicans to release files while also criticizing Greene, and the House was expected to vote on a bill concerning their release.
At a Capitol Hill press conference, Greene said Trump’s administration had mishandled the Epstein files and that the dispute had “ripped MAGA apart.” She said the women behind her would be served by action to release the files. Representatives Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna were also present. Trump had urged congressional Republicans to release as many files as possible, while calling the matter a “Democrat Hoax” and criticizing Greene.
Greene said she judged people by their actions, not their words. Ben Shapiro criticized Greene and Massie on his show, arguing they were motivated by disagreement with Trump’s foreign policy toward Israel. The article said the House was expected to vote on a bill to compel the Justice Department to release more Epstein files.
