GEORGIA CONGRESSWOMAN MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE’S CALL FOR EPSTEIN FILE TRANSPARENCY SPARKS GOP DIVISION
Marjorie Taylor Greene defined a “traitor” as an American serving foreign interests during a press event amid intensifying tensions with former President Donald Trump. The feud centers on Greene’s push for the full release of Jeffrey Epstein documents, despite recent releases implicating Trump. Trump sharply rebuked Greene, calling her a “traitor” and withdrawing his endorsement, highlighting a fracturing within MAGA ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Georgia congresswoman once a staunch Trump ally, publicly criticized President Trump over his withholding of Jeffrey Epstein files. During a recent press conference, Greene controversially stated that a traitor is “an American that serves foreign countries,” suggesting possible foreign government pressures including from Israel, in relation to the withheld documents.
This escalating dispute follows Greene’s relentless call for full transparency on Epstein-related records, despite numerous pages already released revealing Trump’s frequent mentions but no formal accusations against him. Trump responded with fierce denunciations, labeling Greene a “traitor” on social media and questioning her political viability, including endorsing potential challengers to her congressional seat.
The rift has deepened divisions within the MAGA faction, with Trump loyalists largely condemning Greene for what they see as self-sabotage. Social media engagement around Greene’s statements shows increasingly hostile reactions, reflecting skepticism about her relevance and influence in the party as the 2026 midterms approach.
Observers note this conflict underscores larger tensions within the GOP, as factions debate loyalty, policy direction, and leadership ahead of critical elections. Former victims of Epstein expressed support for Greene’s stance on transparency, while others worry the infighting may weaken the party’s cohesion.
Trump’s pivot on the Epstein file release vote prompted further controversy, with some interpreting it as a bid to regain base support amidst ongoing political challenges. Greene meanwhile apologized for engaging in “toxic politics” but remains firm on her demands.
This public feud highlights the volatility surrounding Epstein’s shadowy legacy in U.S. politics and marks a pivotal moment for Trump-aligned lawmakers navigating loyalty and accountability in a divided party landscape.
