Marjorie Taylor Greene said her conflict with Donald Trump stems from her push to release the Epstein files and questioned whether Israel had ties to Epstein. Trump withdrew his endorsement after Greene joined a bipartisan petition seeking the files’ release.
Greene told CNN that Americans are asking whether Epstein worked for Israel, pointing to emails released by the House Oversight Committee and Epstein’s business dealings. She said she was questioning whether any foreign government might be pressuring Trump to keep the files hidden, with Israel a particular concern, and said the country deserves transparency.
Greene said her dispute with Trump was about the files, denied that it stemmed from his discouraging her from seeking another office, and said she hoped they could reconcile. Trump withdrew his endorsement after Greene joined a bipartisan petition to compel the Justice Department to release the remaining files. He said he would support a challenger, while he has called the files issue a Democratic “hoax” and the White House worked to prevent a House vote demanding their full release.
