Trump Withdraws Endorsement of Marjorie Taylor Greene as House Moves Toward Epstein Files Vote

A rare discharge petition has forced an imminent House vote on releasing Epstein files, testing GOP unity.

Overview

  • Trump publicly rescinded his backing of Greene, denounced the Epstein focus as a “hoax,” and said he would support a primary challenger if the right candidate runs.
  • Greene remains a leading proponent of full DOJ disclosure, joined Democrats on the discharge petition, and a vote is expected as soon as Tuesday after Speaker Mike Johnson pledged floor action.
  • House Oversight Committee Democrats released emails raising questions about Trump’s ties to Epstein, while Republicans countered with more than 20,000 pages and accused Democrats of cherry‑picking.
  • Greene says private security firms warned her about threats she links to Trump’s rhetoric, and she apologized for contributing to “toxic politics” while continuing to press for full transparency.
  • Trump escalated attacks through the weekend by labeling Greene a “traitor” online and told reporters he doubts her safety claim, underscoring widening Republican fractures ahead of the 2026 midterms.
