Overview
- Greene says many GOP lawmakers privately ridiculed Trump but publicly fell in line after he won the 2024 primary, citing fear of retaliation.
- She says Republicans are terrified to defy the president because they fear hostile posts on his Truth Social platform.
- After Trump labeled her a traitor, Greene reports a pipe-bomb threat at her home and direct death threats against her son, and she says her office has logged hundreds of threats with Capitol Police.
- She ties the break to her push to release Justice Department files on Jeffrey Epstein, saying Trump was extremely angry and warned disclosure was “going to hurt people”; Congress passed the transparency bill and he signed it, with the DOJ facing a Dec. 19 release deadline.
- Greene remains set to resign on Jan. 5, 2026, distances herself from the MAGA label by calling herself “America First,” and says she has no plans to seek higher office.
