In a “60 Minutes” interview, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized President Donald Trump for not prioritizing domestic issues and described their falling-out over the release of Jeffrey Epstein-related files. The White House defended Trump’s record, while Greene said she has no plans to run for higher office.
Greene said Trump had not lived up to his campaign pledge to focus on domestic policy and described herself as “America First,” rather than identifying with Trump’s “MAGA” label. The White House responded that Trump had delivered on campaign promises, citing actions on the border, prices, taxes and other issues.
Greene also recounted Trump’s anger over her signing a discharge petition to release the Epstein files and said she and her son received death threats. The article says the resulting bill passed the House and Senate and was signed into law by Trump. Greene said she has no plans to run for president, the Senate or governor.
