Overview

  • Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she is "not suicidal" and warned that "foreign government or powerful people" could target her over her push to release Epstein-related records.
  • The discharge petition to force a vote on releasing unclassified Epstein files reached the 218-signature threshold with Rep. Adelita Grijalva’s election, and only four Republicans have signed.
  • Greene, along with Reps. Lauren Boebert and Nancy Mace, has refused to withdraw her support despite lobbying from the White House, which has called backing the petition a "very hostile act."
  • Greene told The New York Times she rebuked a Trump aide, saying she works for her district, and she publicly clashed with Sen. Ted Cruz after he called her "crazy" over her safety warning.
  • Even if the House advances the bill, public disclosure remains uncertain due to required Senate approval, a possible presidential veto, victim‑privacy protections, and questions about DOJ compliance.
