President Donald Trump rejected Marjorie Taylor Greene’s claim that his criticism had prompted threats against her, while repeating personal attacks. Greene said their rift stemmed partly from her support for releasing records related to Jeffrey Epstein.
Greene said Trump’s online criticism had brought a surge of threats and that private security firms had warned her about her safety. Trump said he did not believe anyone was targeting her and repeated insults about her, including calling her a “traitor.”
The article links the dispute to Greene’s support for releasing Epstein-related records. She was one of four House Republicans who joined Democrats in signing a petition to force a vote on releasing Justice Department files. Trump later wrote that House Republicans should vote to release the files.
