Overview
- Trump denounced Greene in multiple Truth Social posts, calling her "wacky" and a "ranting lunatic," and said he would back a viable GOP challenger in her Georgia district.
- Greene responded on X that Trump "attacked me and lied about me," shared screenshots of texts urging him to support releasing Epstein records, and said he aims to intimidate Republicans before the vote.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson has pledged a floor vote next week on legislation compelling the Justice Department to disclose Epstein investigation files after a bipartisan push reached the discharge threshold.
- Trump has urged Republicans to ignore what he called an "Epstein Hoax," arguing Democrats are using the issue as a distraction from other political fights.
- Greene said private security firms warned her about threats she attributes to Trump's rhetoric, as the dispute underscores broader GOP tensions over party priorities including foreign policy and health-care subsidies.
