Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene noted in a social media post over the weekend that Donald Trump has taken steps to destroy the political futures of a group of erstwhile allies who all have something in common: They all pushed for the release of the Epstein files, signing the discharge petition that ultimately made it possible.
“There were only 4 of us, Republicans, that signed the discharge petition to force the vote to release the Epstein files. Thomas Massie, Nancy Mace, Lauren Boebert, and myself. Trump has come after us one by one ever since then,” Greene said on X this week.
Greene, of course, is already out of Congress. Trump is currently working to defeat Massie in a primary and has also begun to criticize Boebert. Mace is running for governor of South Carolina, rather than pursuing reelection to Congress, and Trump has notably not endorsed her.

“The President told Speaker Johnson not to allow the vote to happen, but we courageously went against the President and refused to budge and overrode the Speaker to force the vote on record. It was only when all Members of Congress had to vote on record did Republicans finally find their intestinal fortitude to do the right thing and vote YES to release the files,” Greene added.
“Even now, all the files are still not released, and the Epstein class remains protected. Wars are being waged, the markets are being manipulated, and the average American is being driven further into ruin while the Epstein class reigns and has yet to face any accountability,” Greene added.
Greene, notably, had her own falling out with Boebert when both were in Congress, even once reportedly fighting with her in a bathroom. But now the two look to have something in common.
