Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-S.C., presides over a hearing of the House Oversight Subcommittee in the U.S. Capitol, on Feb. 26, 2025.

Overview

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene says the White House pressed her to withdraw from Rep. Thomas Massie’s discharge petition on releasing Jeffrey Epstein–related files, and she refused.
  • Greene broke with her party by backing an extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies during the government shutdown fight, citing rising insurance costs for constituents.
  • Trump has called senior Republicans in recent months to ask, “What’s going on with Marjorie?” according to NBC News, reflecting concern over her positions.
  • Greene denies turning on Trump or Republicans, posting that critics are “wrong” and asserting she ran to push problem-solving and independence from party pressure.
  • The rift follows months of friction, including the White House discouraging a Georgia Senate bid and reports she was passed over for an administration job.
