President Trump withdrew his endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene after she pressed for the release of Epstein-related files. Greene responded by publishing text messages with Trump and said she believed his move was meant to deter Republicans from supporting a House petition on the files.
Trump announced that he was withdrawing his support for Greene and criticized her for opposing or complaining about his administration. He said he would support a Republican who challenged her in a 2026 primary. The article reports that Greene had backed extending Affordable Care Act subsidies and had pressed the administration to release Epstein-related documents.
Greene said Trump acted after she texted him about the files. She posted messages urging him to examine Epstein flight logs and release the documents, and accused him of trying to scare Republicans before a House vote. The article says Greene had joined a discharge petition led by Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna that would force a vote on a resolution seeking the documents. Trump also said he would ask the Justice Department and FBI to investigate Epstein’s relationships with several people and institutions.
