Marjorie Taylor Greene said President Donald Trump was furious with her for signing a discharge petition to release Epstein-related files. Trump later signed the release bill, which requires the Justice Department to publish the files by December 19.
In a preview of her 60 Minutes interview, Greene said Trump was extremely angry with her for signing a discharge petition to release the Epstein files. The bill requires the Justice Department to release files and communications related to Epstein, along with information about the investigation into his death, by December 19.
Trump signed the bill and said Democrats had used the Epstein issue to distract from what he called Republican “AMAZING Victories.” Greene said the women involved deserved the requested information. The article also reports that Greene announced she would resign from the House on January 5, citing her family and the prospect of a difficult 2026 reelection campaign.
