Marjorie Taylor Greene to Resign From House on Jan. 5 After Break With Trump Over Epstein Files

The move highlights widening fractures in Trump's MAGA coalition.

Overview

  • The Georgia Republican announced on X that her final day in office will be January 5, 2026, following a months-long dispute with the president.
  • Greene said she faced serious threats after Trump’s public attacks and cited warnings from private security firms.
  • The clash centered on releasing Jeffrey Epstein investigation records, which Trump resisted before signing a law under pressure from Congress.
  • Trump withdrew his endorsement, said he would back a primary challenger, and called her resignation “great news for the country” in comments to ABC News.
  • Her departure underscores internal GOP strains and carries implications for a party holding a slim House majority heading into the 2026 midterms.
