Overview
- Trump withdrew his endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, labeled her a “traitor” and “lunatic,” and signaled support for a primary challenger.
- Asked about Greene’s safety concerns, Trump said he did not think her life was in danger and added, “I don’t think anybody cares about her.”
- Greene said she and her family faced hoax pizza deliveries and that her construction company received a pipe bomb threat, which she linked to Trump’s rhetoric.
- After initially resisting disclosure, Trump publicly urged House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files, saying, “we have nothing to hide.”
- Greene has broken with Trump on policy and joined a rare discharge petition with Reps. Thomas Massie, Lauren Boebert and Nancy Mace to force the records vote, and she issued a televised apology for taking part in “toxic politics.”
