Overview
- Trump withdrew his endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and labeled her a “traitor” and “lunatic,” later dismissing her safety concerns by saying he didn’t think anybody cared about her.
- Greene reported “hoax pizza deliveries” to family homes and a pipe bomb threat to her construction company’s office after the clash, and she issued a rare apology on TV for contributing to “toxic politics.”
- After initially resisting disclosure, Trump urged House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files, saying there is “nothing to hide.”
- The House is preparing for a vote on releasing Epstein-related records after Greene joined a small group of Republicans on a discharge petition to force action.
- The dispute underscores broader tensions inside the MAGA-aligned GOP over foreign policy and priorities, following Greene’s critiques on Gaza and rising health care costs.
