Trump Denounces Greene After '60 Minutes' as She Blames His Rhetoric for Threats

Greene traces the rupture to her push to force release of Epstein files.

Overview

  • In a '60 Minutes' interview, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said a pipe bomb threat to her home and several death threats against her son followed Trump calling her a traitor, which she described as 'directly fueled' by his words.
  • Greene said she alerted President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance to the threats; a White House official said the messages she cited were referred to the FBI.
  • Trump responded on Truth Social by calling Greene a 'low IQ traitor' and claiming she was 'jilted,' while also criticizing '60 Minutes' and its parent company.
  • Greene, who now labels herself 'America First' rather than MAGA, plans to resign from Congress on Jan. 5, 2026 after their public falling-out.
  • The Justice Department is due to release unclassified Epstein-related materials in mid-December under a bipartisan measure that passed Congress and was signed by Trump in November.
