Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has intensified her campaign for the public release of all documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, despite facing sharp criticism from former President Donald Trump. Speaking on CNN’s ‘State of the Union’ on Sunday, Greene expressed her continued support for Trump but voiced strong disagreement with his efforts to suppress the Epstein files. She argued that Trump’s harsh rhetoric, including labeling her a ‘traitor,’ not only fuels political discord but also endangers her safety. ‘Words like that can radicalize people against me and put my life at risk,’ Greene told host Dana Bash. The rift between Greene and Trump has deepened in recent weeks, particularly after Greene urged the Department of Justice to disclose all Epstein-related materials. The tension escalated on Friday when Trump condemned Greene on Truth Social, calling her a ‘wacky’ and ‘ranting lunatic’ who ‘complains’ incessantly. Although Trump’s post did not explicitly mention the Epstein files, Greene asserted that their fallout stems from her push for transparency. The House is set to vote this week on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which aims to compel the Justice Department to release all unclassified records, documents, and investigative materials tied to Epstein. Republican Representative Thomas Massie revealed that up to 100 GOP members may support the bill. Greene emphasized the need for accountability, stating, ‘The country deserves transparency, and no one should be shielded from justice, regardless of their wealth or power.’ She also called for unity in American politics, urging an end to divisive rhetoric. This marks a notable shift for Greene, who has previously been criticized for promoting conspiracy theories and inflammatory social media posts. When confronted by Bash about her past actions, Greene reiterated her apologies and highlighted her commitment to forgiveness as part of her Christian faith.
