Donald Trump criticized CBS News and Marjorie Taylor Greene after Greene discussed threats against her family in a 60 Minutes interview. Greene linked the threats to Trump’s “traitor” nickname, while Trump attacked her and the interview.
Trump addressed Greene in a Dec. 8 Truth Social post, criticizing CBS News and calling Greene “Marjorie Traitor Greene.” His post also referred to a July settlement involving Paramount over a 60 Minutes interview that he claimed had been edited to favor Kamala Harris.
In her interview with Lesley Stahl, Greene said her family received threats, including a threat against her son and a pipe bomb threat at her home, after Trump called her a traitor. Greene said Trump’s response when she tried to discuss the threats was “extremely unkind.” The article also says Greene has attributed her falling-out with Trump to her advocacy for releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files; Trump has said she pushed back because he did not support a potential 2026 bid against Sen. Jon Ossoff.
