Marjorie Taylor Greene goes scorched earth on Trump’s Epstein file release

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene stated that individuals who attempted to suppress the release of Jeffrey Epstein-related files, including the president, should be considered "traitors."
  • Greene disclosed an "uncomfortable phone call" with the president, during which the president indicated that his friends would be negatively affected by the release of the Epstein files.
  • She condemned the efforts to conceal information in the documents as "absolutely ridiculous and unforgivable," arguing that the officials involved have forfeited the public's trust.
  • Greene directly accused the president of being a "traitor" for initially resisting the release of the Epstein files, contrasting his actions with his public commitment to "drain the swamp."
  • Ultimately, the president signed a bill into law, advocated by Greene and other House Republicans, which mandated the Justice Department to release the Epstein documents, despite his initial opposition.
