Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she will resign from Congress effective January 5, 2026, and President Donald Trump responded with posts criticizing her and her association with Rep. Thomas Massie. Greene had recently challenged her party over health care and supported releasing the Epstein Files.
Greene announced her resignation in a video statement, saying she refused to be a “battered wife” waiting for things to improve. Trump first called the news “great” for the country, then posted that Greene was quitting because of falling poll numbers and a possible primary challenge; those were his claims, not independently established facts in the article. He also criticized her relationship with Massie and thanked her for her service.
The article says Greene had been an outspoken Trump ally but criticized her party over health care during the government shutdown and supported releasing the Epstein Files. It reports that the House and Senate approved a bill to release the files in near-unanimous votes on Tuesday and that Trump signed it on Wednesday night.
