- She alleged threats escalated after Trump labeled her a 'traitor,' citing a pipe-bomb threat to her home and direct death threats against her son.
- Greene said she sent the threats to Vice President JD Vance and the president, adding that Vance replied he would look into it while Trump's response was 'extremely unkind.'
- She described Trump as 'extremely angry' over her push to force release of Jeffrey Epstein–related files and said he warned disclosure would 'hurt people'; the transparency law passed with bipartisan votes and was signed last month, with a Justice Department release deadline approaching on Dec. 19.
