Marjorie Taylor Greene may not still be a member of Congress, but she is still speaking up- mostly about the Epstein files, and her continuing break with Donald Trump.
Greene, once among Trump’s biggest loyalists in Congress, resigned her seat in January, a few months after breaking with Trump over several issues, most notably his handling of the Epstein files.
Per The Daily Beast, a recent gaggle with reporters on Air Force One, the president ripped Greene, referring to her as “Marjorie Traitor Greene.”

Him calling me that has become a badge of honor because I’m not in his cult, I refused to bow to his demands to cover up the Epstein files to protect his friends, and I stopped fighting the hardest for a team that intentionally refuses to win. https://t.co/hUCjXjp1mo

“Him calling me that has become a badge of honor because I’m not in his cult, I refused to bow to his demands to cover up the Epstein files to protect his friends, and I stopped fighting the hardest for a team that intentionally refuses to win,” Greene wrote in the post.
As pointed out by the Daily Beast, Trump has been trying to change the subject away from the Epstein releases in recent weeks. However, embarrassing details keep getting released, including some involving Trump himself.
“Interest in the case has persisted, especially after it was revealed that the FBI interviewed a Jeffrey Epstein victim who alleged that Trump sexually abused her when she was a teenager. No evidence was provided in the email chains or FBI presentation to support the allegation,” the Beast reported. “Reached for comment about the allegation, the White House referred the Daily Beast to a Justice Department statement that pointed out the allegation may be flawed as the recent dump ‘may include fake or falsely submitted images, documents or videos, as everything that was sent to the FBI by the public was included in the production that is responsive to the Act.'”
