Donald Trump withdrew his endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and said he might back a challenger in her next primary. Greene disputed his account and linked the falling-out to her support for releasing more Justice Department files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump said he no longer endorsed Greene and would support a conservative challenger in the next Republican primary if he found the right candidate. In posts, he criticized her communications with him and her appearance on “The View.” Greene said Trump had attacked and lied about her, and attributed his reaction to her support for releasing more Epstein-related files.
The article reports that Greene joined three other Republicans in signing a discharge petition seeking a House vote on releasing the files; Speaker Mike Johnson said he planned to hold a vote the following week. It also recounts Greene’s criticism of her party over the shutdown and other issues, and describes the pair as former allies whose political relationship had broken down.
