WASHINGTON—Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene caused a stir on Saturday when she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/marjorie-taylor-greene-to-resign-from-congress?author=Cameron+Arcand&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=8&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Marjorie+Taylor+Greene+To+Resign+From+Congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> her plans to resign effective January 5. Now, with Republicans struggling to hold on to a barely-there majority, the question is: what will happen to her seat?
A special is slated to happen sometime in February or March. And with just 219 seats, Republicans can&#8217;t afford to lose it. There are <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/List_of_current_members_of_the_U.S._Congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">currently</a> three vacancies in the House: two seats left open by Democrats, one by a Republican, and Greene will with be the fourth when she resigns. The seven-seat margin means Republicans can afford no more than three defections on measures they want to pass without Democrats.
Greene, who rose to prominence as one of President Donald Trump&#8217;s most vocal allies, announced her resignation amid a very public fallout with the president over his resistance to releasing information related to the convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. In a video <a href="https://x.com/mtgreenee/status/1992035608387039359?s=20">announcement</a> posted on Nov. 21, Greene outlined the reasoning behind her decision and addressed her decision to support releasing the Epstein files.
“Standing up for American women who were raped at 14, trafficked and used by rich powerful men, should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for,” Greene said.
Greene also pointed to other frustrations, saying she believes Americans are being “used” by the &#8220;political industrial complex&#8221; on both sides to “elect whichever side can convince Americans to hate the other side more.”
This week, Greene confirmed she is <a href="https://x.com/mtgreenee/status/1992586669204070761?s=20">not</a> running for president, or <a href="https://x.com/mtgreenee/status/1993127035498045564?s=20">joining</a> &#8220;The View,&#8221; as many people online have speculated in recent days since her announcement.
Paulding County Republican Party Executive Committee Chairman Richard J. Hess told The Daily Wire there will be a special election to fill Greene’s unexpired term for 2025.
The timeline, however, is a little tricky.
Hess said the special election to replace the conservative firebrand will likely fall “somewhere between mid-February and March, but ultimately that decision is up to the governor.” Once Greene resigns, the governor will have 10 days to issue the call for a special election, formally known as a “a writ of election,” according to the Secretary of State’s office<a href="https://sos.ga.gov/sites/default/files/2024-02/Qualifications_and_Disqualifications_through%20current%20-%20CandHandbk2024_0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> website</a>.

A spokesman for Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger told The Daily Wire that once this happens, a special election must be at least 29 days from the call being issued. Hess said their hope is that the special election “doesn’t interfere with the primary or the qualification period, because we’re looking at very tight timelines.”
Hess explained that there will be a special election and “potentially” a runoff election, followed by the regular primary cycle for the seat. Greene’s seat is up for election in November 2026, meaning the winner of this special election would have to run again if they want to retain the seat.
The general primary for the 2026 election is scheduled for May 19 with a potential runoff June 16, according to the Federal Election Commission’s <a href="https://www.fec.gov/resources/cms-content/documents/2026pdates.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>. Georgia is one of the seven states that requires a runoff election if none of the candidates receive a majority of the vote (50%+1), according to the <a href="https://www.ncsl.org/elections-and-campaigns/primary-runoffs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Conference of State Legislatures.</a>
This means the process could take longer if a runoff election is required, depending on how many candidates enter the race and the election results.
“It’s going to be a very hectic, fast-paced period, and we’re just hoping the transition moves as smoothly as possible,” Hess said.
Georgia’s 14th Congressional District is a solidly Republican district in the state’s northwest corner. In the 2024 race, Greene <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Georgia%27s_14th_Congressional_District" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> secured around 64% of the vote, compared to 35% for her Democratic challenger, Shawn Harris.

President Donald Trump on Friday night said it was &#8220;great news&#8221; that former ally GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA) announced her coming resignation from Congress.
Trump and Greene recently had a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-goes-nuclear-on-two-former-allies-says-hell-back-primary-challengers?author=Amanda+Prestigiacomo&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=8&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Goes+Nuclear+On+Two+Former+Allies%2C+Says+He’ll+Back+Primary+Challengers">falling out</a>, which culminated in Trump saying he&#8217;d back a primary challenge against Greene.
&#8220;Just spoke with Pres. Trump on the phone. He said [Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene] resigning is &#8216;great news from the country,'&#8221; ABC News reporter Rachel Scott posted to X.
&#8220;I think it&#8217;s great news for the country. It&#8217;s great,&#8221; the president said.
Asked if Greene gave him a &#8220;heads up&#8221; about her resignation, Trump responded, &#8220;Nah, it doesn&#8217;t matter, you know but I think it&#8217;s great. I think she should be happy.&#8221;
Trump also told Scott that the rift between the pair only exists &#8220;between me and her, not her and me.&#8221;
&#8220;He said as of now, he has no plans to speak to her and wishes her well,&#8221; Scott added.

Trump doubled-down on his take on Saturday morning, writing on Truth Social, &#8220;Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown, because of PLUMMETING Poll Numbers, and not wanting to face a Primary Challenger with a strong Trump Endorsement (where she would have no chance of winning!), has decided to call it ‘quits.’&#8221;
&#8220;Her relationship with the WORST Republican Congressman in decades, Tom Massie of Kentucky, also known as Rand Paul Jr. because he votes against the Republican Party (and really good legislation!), did not help her,&#8221; the president continued. &#8220;For some reason, primarily that I refused to return her never ending barrage of phone calls, Marjorie went BAD. Nevertheless, I will always appreciate Marjorie, and thank her for her service to our Country!&#8221;

MTG&#8217;s resignation announcement comes just one week after Trump said he was done supporting the rep. Greene has recently <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/10/17/mtg-republicans-trump-america-first">accused</a> Trump of being “America Last” for meeting with foreign leaders and has routinely criticized Republican leadership.

Trump said last week that the congresswoman started to publicly criticize him after he sent her a poll showing she’d fare poorly if she made a run for the Senate or governorship in Georgia, adding that she’s also upset that he doesn’t have time to return her phone calls anymore.

‘Great News For The Country’: Trump Reacts To Marjorie Taylor Greene Resignation

Congress

Elections

Politics

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) will resign from Congress after a public falling out with President Donald Trump, despite once being close allies.
“I’ve been blessed to represent the 14th District of Georgia for five years. That district is filled with some of the most wonderful, kind-hearted, God fearing, patriotic, hardworking people you will ever meet. Good, regular, common Americans,” the congresswoman, who recently made a hotly-debated appearance on “The View,” stated in a video posted to X on Friday night.
“Loyalty should be a two-way street,” she added.
“Because my self worth is not defined by a man, but instead by God, who created everything in existence,” she continued.

Greene will officially step down on January 5. She was first elected during the 2020 election and was one of the most vocal opponents of then-President Joe Biden and supporters of Trump. In recent weeks, Greene grew critical of the president and congressional leadership on numerous issues, including the Epstein files and how to best handle Obamacare, including during the government shutdown.
“I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of &#8216;Congresswoman&#8217; Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Great State of Georgia,” Trump said in a November 14 Truth Social post, adding that “all [he sees] ‘Wacky’ Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!”
Trump said Greene&#8217;s heel-turn started when he showed her a poll in which it appeared she didn&#8217;t have a shot at winning a gubernatorial or Senate race in Georgia.
“She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day. I understand that wonderful, Conservative people are thinking about primarying Marjorie in her District of Georgia, that they too are fed up with her and her antics and, if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support,” he added at the time.
The decision from the congresswoman will trigger a special election, which Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) will choose a date for. The race will include also include both primaries and a general election in the deep red district, and those elections might happen ahead of the standard 2026 primaries in May, according to the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/marjorie-taylor-green-congress-resigns-trump-maga-5f42d4893343babc8e87da1491a0de2b" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associated Press</a>.

US-VOTE-POLITICS-TRUMP

Marjorie Taylor Greene To Resign From Congress

Speaking at a press conference alongside alleged survivors of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene implied President Trump was a “traitor.”
On Sunday, Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115562684567737579">wrote</a>, “Wacky Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown (Remember, Green turns to Brown where there is ROT involved!) is working overtime to try and portray herself as a victim when, in actuality, she is the cause of all of her own problems. The fact is, nobody cares about this Traitor to our Country!”
Greene on Tuesday turned the &#8220;traitor&#8221; label around on the president.
“I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for five, no, actually six years for,” Greene responded at the press conference. “And I gave him my loyalty for free. I won my first election without his endorsement, beating eight men in a primary, and I&#8217;ve never owed him anything. But I fought for him for the policies and for America First. And he called me a traitor for standing with these women and refusing to take my name off the discharge petition.&#8221;
&#8220;Let me tell you what a traitor is. A traitor is an American that serves foreign countries and themselves. A patriot is an American that serves the United States of America and Americans like the women standing behind me.”
She followed with an incipient threat of what would happen after the Epstein files were released, declaring, “And I want to tell you, that this only became possible today because the American people, whom we serve as representatives here in Congress, demanded that this vote happen and they put more pressure on every single elected politician in this city that has ever been put on them. And today you are going to see, probably a unanimous vote in the House to release the Epstein files, but the fight, the real fight will happen after that.”
Prior to Trump’s post on Truth Social on Sunday, he had posted this <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115551127714537339">statement</a> about Greene’s recent attacks on him: “It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn’t have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn’t about to get!). She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day. I understand that wonderful, Conservative people are thinking about primarying Marjorie in her District of Georgia, that they too are fed up with her and her antics and, if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support. She has gone Far Left, even doing The View, with their Low IQ Republican hating Anchors.”
On The View, Greene <a href="applewebdata://500B2869-FDB0-4ADE-8A34-AF707DA1DA12/v">stated</a>, “When I talk about weak Republican men, I’m pretty much talking, oftentimes, about the leadership in the House and the Senate.” Co-host Sunny Hostin was so impressed by Greene’s attacks on the GOP that she said, “You’re on the Left now.”

Epstein Survivors News Conference

Marjorie Taylor Greene Suggests Trump Is A ‘Traitor’ To United States

traitor

A trio of anti-Trump members of Congress will <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5609061-epstein-survivors-house-press-conference/">host</a> alleged survivors of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday.
Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), and Ro Khanna (D-CA), all of whom are inveterate opponents of the president, are hosts.
According to NewsNation, the press conference will “discuss next steps for Rep. Khanna and Rep. Massie’s bipartisan bill, the Epstein Files Transparency Act.”
On Sunday night, President Trump noted on Truth Social that he encourages the release of all the Epstein files, writing:
“As I said on Friday night aboard Air Force One to the Fake News Media, House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party, including our recent Victory on the Democrat ‘Shutdown.’&#8221;
“The Trump Administration has done more for the victims than Democrats ever have,” White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson stated. “The Democrat Party did nothing about Epstein for years; they are only pretending to care about these victims now as they attempt to score political points against President Trump.”
In February 2025, Massie was the <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-house-republicans-set-vote-trumps-tax-cut-agenda-2025-02-25/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">sole Republican</a> in the House to vote no on a budget blueprint that would advance Trump’s tax-cut and border/big-spending agenda (a “$4.5 trillion” plan) in a 217-215 vote. In March, Massie <a href="https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2025/03/11/trump-massie-spending-bill?utm_source=chatgpt.com">opposed</a> a House stopgap spending bill/continuing resolution aimed at avoiding a government shutdown, which Trump supported. In June, Massie <a href="https://time.com/7294985/iran-israel-trump-us-war-powers-congress-massie-khanna-kaine/">co-sponsored</a> a war-powers resolution aimed at limiting the president’s authority to strike Iran without Congressional approval, against the Trump administration’s foreign-policy position. In June, he also he was one of only two Republicans to vote against the so-called “Great, Big, Beautiful Bill” (or similar bill) advanced by Republicans.
On November 28, 2023, the U.S. House passed a resolution “reaffirming the State of Israel’s right to exist.” Massie <a href="https://www.jns.org/on-israels-right-to-exist-massie-votes-no-tlaib-present/?utm">cast the lone</a> “nay” vote. In late May 2025, as Israel was at war with Hamas and Iran, Massie said the U.S. should “end all U.S. military aid to Israel now.”
“Third Rate Congressman Thomas Massie, a Weak and Pathetic RINO from the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky, a place I love, and won big SIX TIMES, must be thrown out of office, ASAP!” Trump wrote on <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115487538389910575">Truth Social</a> earlier this month.
After Trump launched a strike on Iran’s nuclear sites last May, Greene slammed him, saying, “We are entering a nuclear war—the World War, the World War III, because the entire world is going to erupt.” In October, she <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-condemns-argentina-beef-plan-trump-10928902">said</a> his plan to import Argentine beef to lower prices was “a punch in the gut to all of our American cattle ranchers.” She also <a href="https://x.com/OfTheBraveUSA/status/1977076561951260769">attacked</a> the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
Trump, noting Greene’s opposition, wrote last week, “It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn’t have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn’t about to get!). She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day.”
Khanna has <a href="https://khanna.house.gov/media/in-the-news/rep-ro-khanna-says-trump-following-nixons-playbook-attempt-interfere-federal">accused</a> Trump of “following Richard Nixon’s playbook to interfere with” the Federal Reserve. He <a href="https://www.democracynow.org/2025/2/7/ro_khanna">criticized</a> DOGE, saying, “It has really been disappointing and concerning to see the overreach and the unconstitutional actions.” He has mocked Trump’s foreign policy, declaring, “I think he is in the wrong century.”

Anti-Trump Lawmakers To Host Alleged Epstein Survivors

Over the weekend, the long-simmering feud between Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and the president of the United States finally boiled over.
Greene — the Jewish space laser lady — has been attempting to run her own knockoff version of MAGA. She&#8217;s been out retailing it to &#8220;The View.&#8221; She&#8217;s been out retailing it to CNN and MSNBC.
She&#8217;s become the hot new thing in the legacy media. They now have “strange new respect” for Marjorie Taylor Greene because she has decided that she is going to attack Trump full-time.
President Trump put out a statement on Saturday slamming Greene for trying to undermine his administration. He wrote on Truth Social: 
<blockquote>Lightweight Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Brown (Green grass turns Brown when it begins to ROT!), betrayed the entire Republican Party when she turned Left, performed poorly on the pathetic View, and became the RINO that we all know she always was.</blockquote>
That followed Greene’s repeated attacks on President Trump, particularly over Jeffrey Epstein. 
On Friday, Greene <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-blasts-government-over-epstein-working-harder-to-protect-pedophiles-than-victims/">suggested</a> on CBS that the president of the United States was attempting to protect pedophiles, saying: 
<blockquote>The American people deserve to see transparency from their government. The Rich, powerful people should not be protected. That is completely wrong. And it&#8217;s a message to victims everywhere. Victims of rape, human trafficking, and children who are trapped in terrible situations that the government will not protect the predators, that we will work hard to protect the victims.</blockquote>
It is ridiculous to suggest the president of the United States is trying to protect predators. This line has been retailed by a wide variety of people who are supposedly allies of President Trump who have turned on him, using the Epstein files as a way of getting at him.
Thus, the president withdrew his support for Marjorie Taylor Greene and suggested that he might back her opponent in the primary.
Greene wouldn’t be known if it had not been for the president of the United States touting her, treating her as an ally and building her up. She got very angry because she wanted to run for Senate in Georgia and he pointed out to her she was going to lose by 20 points to Jon Ossoff if she ran for Senate in Georgia.
This ticked her off. So President Trump finally lost it on <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115551127714537339">Truth Social</a>, writing: 
<blockquote>I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of “Congresswoman” Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Great State of Georgia. &#8230; all I see ‘Wacky’ Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN! It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn’t have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn’t about to get!). She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day.
I understand that wonderful, Conservative people are thinking about primarying Marjorie in her District of Georgia, that they too are fed up with her and her antics and, if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support,” he continued. “She has gone Far Left, even doing The View, with their Low IQ Republican hating Anchors.</blockquote>
Greene was excited about this because she&#8217;s attempting again to run an anti-Trump campaign inside the Republican Party.

She <a href="https://x.com/RepMTG/status/1989518703507963940?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1989518703507963940%7Ctwgr%5E03448d1ad5006003a5ba80f2ee8c4fbcf3b68dd7%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thedailybeast.com%2Fmtg-shares-messy-breakup-texts-with-trump-over-epstein%2F">responded</a> by saying, “President Trump just attacked me and lied about me.&#8221;
Always playing the victim.
<blockquote>I haven&#8217;t called him at all, but I did send these text messages today,” she stated. “Apparently, this is what sent him over the edge. The Epstein files. And of course, he&#8217;s coming hard after me to make an example to scare all the other Republicans before next week&#8217;s vote to release the Epstein files. It&#8217;s astonishing, really, how hard he&#8217;s fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out that he actually goes to this level. But really, most Americans wish you would fight this hard to help the forgotten men and women of America who are fed up with foreign wars and foreign causes, are going broke trying to feed their families, and are losing hope of ever achieving the American dream.</blockquote>
What she is saying, that the president is trying to cover up the Epstein files, is not true. The president made absolutely clear on Sunday that that was not the case. He put out a post on <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115562626931599548">Truth Social</a> that read:
<blockquote>As I said on Friday night aboard Air Force One to the Fake News Media, House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party, including our recent Victory on the Democrat “Shutdown.” The Department of Justice has already turned over tens of thousands of pages to the Public on ‘Epstein,’ are looking at various Democrat operatives (Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, Larry Summers, etc.) and their relationship to Epstein, and the House Oversight Committee can have whatever they are legally entitled to, I DON’T CARE!</blockquote>
Over the weekend, talking with CNN&#8217;s Dana Bash, Greene slammed President Trump for calling her a traitor, even though she has spent the last several months beating up on President Trump over and over and over.
“The most hurtful thing he said, which is absolutely untrue, is he called me a traitor,” she said. “And that is so extremely wrong. And those are the types of words used that can radicalize people against me and put my life in danger.”
The new line that&#8217;s being retailed by people like Marjorie Taylor Greene is that criticism of her puts her life in danger.
Greene&#8217;s idea is that President Trump has not only betrayed MAGA because of Epstein, but also has betrayed MAGA — because she has a different definition of MAGA.
And this brings us to what&#8217;s really going on under the surface: Marjorie Taylor Greene started caring about the Epstein files in a serious way with regard to President Trump about the same time she got angry at the president&#8217;s foreign policy with regard to the Middle East.
She, Thomas Massie, and a wide variety of commentators seemed to get very exercised about President Trump and the Epstein files by claiming that President Trump is in thrall to Israel, and that the Epstein files is somehow indicate some sort of Mossad agency operation.
What made them mad is that President Trump is not anti-Israel in the same way they are.
I&#8217;m in favor of all Jeffrey Epstein files being released. I believe the president didn&#8217;t want all of them released because he was tired of talking about it, and because his own FBI had told him there was nothing there.
But the evidence-free nature of this supposed conspiracy is the reason it&#8217;s being trafficked by people like Marjorie Taylor Greene. She thinks President Trump is somehow controlled by the Israelis.
The Israeli government would likely have been on board with the idea of toppling the Iranian regime. The president, however, was not, and that was that. The people making arguments like Greene’s are the same people who suggested that bombing the Fordow nuclear reactor was somehow going to lead to World War III and full-scale American involvement in Middle East warfare.
Which, of course, never happened.
This is the reason why they&#8217;re focused on Epstein. Let&#8217;s be clear about this — it is not because of Epstein. The Epstein files have been out there. None of these people were screaming bloody murder about the Epstein files when Joe Biden was president of the United States.
President Trump comes on the scene, doesn&#8217;t do the foreign policy they want, and suddenly they start screaming at the top of their lungs about the Epstein files.
This is all part of an attempt to turn MAGA into something it isn&#8217;t.
Let&#8217;s be clear about what MAGA is: President Trump, period. End of story.
All attempts to reduce MAGA to some ideological form or fashion are bound to fail because President Trump is sui generis: He contains multitudes. Which means that many people who voted for President Trump disagree with him on a lot of issues.
I have disagreed with the president of the United States quite frequently on matters ranging from foreign policy to domestic policy. 
But only the president defines what MAGA is. He has always defined what MAGA is.
There&#8217;s a new movement afoot to try and cobble together pieces of Trump&#8217;s coalition and move forward into something different, but to claim the mantle of Trumpism without Trump is a bizarre and ridiculous move.

Topline: President Donald Trump dramatically withdrew his backing of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) over the weekend amid a national debate over the Epstein files.
A few years ago, Greene was considered one of the president&#8217;s closest allies in Congress, including during the Biden era. Over the past few weeks, Greene has broken prominently with the president on some policies, including how best to handle healthcare and foreign policy. 
Last week appeared to be the final straw for the president, when he referred to the Georgia congresswoman as Marjorie “Traitor” Greene. Trump essentially said Greene was acting out of line because of her desire to run for the U.S. Senate or Georgia governor.
“I understand that wonderful, Conservative people are thinking about primarying Marjorie in her District of Georgia, that they too are fed up with her and her antics and, if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support,” Trump said in a social media <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115551127714537339">post</a>. “She has gone Far Left, even doing The View, with their Low IQ Republican hating Anchors. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Greene media blitz: Greene has appeared on the Left-leaning talk show The View and has given interviews to CNN and other outlets, where she has criticized the administration and other Republicans.
In a Sunday morning appearance on CNN, Greene <a href="https://x.com/CNNSOTU/status/1990068687055851867">apologized</a> for “taking part in toxic politics” when asked why she never spoke out against Trump’s rhetorical style for attacking people until those attacks were directed at her.
Epstein files: Greene has pointed to the administration’s handling of the Epstein files as one of the main reasons that she and the president seem to have had a falling out. Notably, the president has disagreed with this assessment, citing policy differences.
The Epstein files are under debate in Congress right now, as a petition signed by Greene, a few other Republicans, and House Democrats seeks to force a vote on Tuesday to release more evidence. The bill is expected to pass, potentially with more GOP votes than signed on to the petition to get the vote.
For some time, Trump has called the Epstein files a “hoax” and said the supposed files have been weaponized by the Democrats to distract from his agenda. But on Sunday night, Trump reversed course and <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/us/politics/trump-epstein-files-release-vote.html">called on</a> House Republicans to back the bill that would compel the DOJ to release the files. 
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Chinese Espionage</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1001443" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/11/The-Enemy-Within-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="169" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/11/The-Enemy-Within-300x169.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/11/The-Enemy-Within-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/11/The-Enemy-Within-768x432.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/11/The-Enemy-Within-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/11/The-Enemy-Within.jpg 1920w" sizes=" (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />
Topline: U.S. lawmakers in both parties are ramping up warnings of Chinese spying efforts on U.S. military bases and personnel. 
In recent years, Chinese companies were found to have gobbled up farmland near roughly 20 military installations nationwide, prompting warnings from the Pentagon that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) could use that land to film weapons and troop movements, intercept communications, and hack into software.
Congress recently passed new laws requiring federal approval for foreign land purchases within 100 miles of most military sites. But it appears Beijing is circumventing those laws and continuing to purchase land.
Whiteman under watch? In the last few days, the Daily Caller <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/11/10/exclusive-us-nuclear-bomber-fleet-shares-fence-trailer-park-linked-chinese-intel-miles-guo/">reported</a> on a trailer park in Missouri that’s owned by a married couple living in Canada with ties to a Chinese business tycoon. That trailer park directly borders Whiteman Air Force Base, home to the U.S. military’s only nuclear-capable stealth bomber fleet. The land shares a fence with the base and sits just a mile from the runway, offering unobscured views of stealth bombers taking off and landing.
The Canadian couple are Chinese immigrants with direct business ties to Miles Guo, a “disgraced Chinese tycoon and self-described former CCP intelligence affiliate.”
As one former CIA operations officer said, “This trailer park would hypothetically give Xi Jinping a range of options to wreak havoc.” According to Rep. Mark Alford (R-MO), the commander of this base had <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/11/11/former-military-base-commander-allegedly-knew-nothing-of-nearby-trailer-park-linked-to-ccp/">no idea</a> his next-door neighbors were potential Chinese spies. 
Chinese spy tech: Last week, 23 lawmakers from both parties, led by Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), sent a letter to the White House urging an investigation into TP-Link, a major online retailer that sells Wi-Fi routers, home security cameras, baby monitors, etc.
Ernst says those devices are easily accessed by the CCP and, most concerning, “are sold through the Army, Air Force, and Navy Exchanges, placing these devices in proximity to U.S. military installations and providing a vehicle for Beijing to spy on America.”
TP-Link strongly denies any wrongdoing, saying its data for American users is housed on the Amazon cloud in Virginia, and that “TP-Link does not enable foreign surveillance of U.S. networks or users.”
Lawmakers say even if Chinese businesses aren’t intentionally taking part in espionage against the United States, they can often be used for those purposes by the CCP. Beijing passed new laws in recent years that require “any organization or citizen [to] support, assist and cooperate with state intelligence work.”
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Operation Charlotte’s Web</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1001445" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/11/Operation-Charlottes-Web-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="169" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/11/Operation-Charlottes-Web-300x169.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/11/Operation-Charlottes-Web-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/11/Operation-Charlottes-Web-768x432.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/11/Operation-Charlottes-Web-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/11/Operation-Charlottes-Web.jpg 1920w" sizes=" (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />
Topline: Federal immigration agents flooded Charlotte, North Carolina, over the weekend in the next major operation under President Trump’s immigration enforcement surge.
Charlotte’s Web: Immigration officials from ICE and the Border Patrol launched Operation Charlotte’s Web over the weekend, continuing Trump&#8217;s immigration crackdown across major American cities. According to administration officials, immigration operations continue to focus on dangerous illegal aliens. Quite a few non-violent aliens tend to be swept up in immigration raids, as well. 
Democrat backlash: This operation has caused predictable backlash among local Democratic politicians and activists.
“We have a little man sitting in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, who really believes that Hitler was the greatest man ever on earth,” <a href="https://grabien.com/story?id=556130">said</a> Corine Mack, the president of the Charlotte chapter of the NAACP. “He&#8217;s trying to create a 1940 Germany right here in the United States. And like then, many people said, &#8216;Well, it’s them, not me.&#8217; Until it eventually was them. We can no longer be silent.”
Catholic bishops join resistance: The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops waded into the immigration debate, slamming President Trump’s enforcement policies. 
“We are disturbed when we see among our people a climate of fear and anxiety around questions of profiling and immigration enforcement,” the bishops <a href="https://x.com/ArchbishpSample/status/1989041086808133664">said</a> in a video statement. “We are saddened by the state of contemporary debate and the vilification of immigrants. We are concerned about the conditions in detention centers and the lack of access to pastoral care.”
The bishops’ message drew pushback from border czar Tom Homan.
“Secure border saves lives and, you know, one of the reasons no one talks about why we have the most secure border in the history of this nation. [It’s] because of exactly what ICE is doing,” <a href="https://x.com/cspan/status/1989387853697265891">said</a> Homan on Friday. “I&#8217;ll say it as a Catholic, I think they need to spend time fixing the Catholic Church, in my opinion.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) apologized on Sunday for her role in &#8220;toxic politics,&#8221; saying that heated political rhetoric was something she&#8217;d been giving a lot more thought to in the wake of Charlie Kirk&#8217;s assassination.
CNN anchor Dana Bash pressed the Georgia congresswoman on &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; in the wake of a series of attacks she&#8217;d received from President Donald Trump, asking why she&#8217;d never spoken up for others who found themselves the target of Trump&#8217;s outbursts in the past.

BASH: “We have seen these kinds of attacks or criticism from the President at other people. It&#8217;s not new. And with respect, I haven&#8217;t heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.”

&#8220;Dana, I think that&#8217;s fair criticism,&#8221; Greene replied. &#8220;And I would like to say humbly, I&#8217;m sorry for taking part in the toxic politics. It&#8217;s very bad for our country. And it&#8217;s been something I&#8217;ve thought about a lot, especially since Charlie Kirk was assassinated.&#8221;
Greene went on to say that she was trying to be more intentional about choosing her words and wanted to &#8220;put down the knives in politics&#8221; moving forward. &#8220;I really just want to see people be kind to one another,&#8221; she added. &#8220;And we need to figure out a new path forward that is focused on the American people because as Americans, no matter what side of the aisle we&#8217;re on, we have far more in common than we have differences.&#8221;
Bash went through a list of objectionable social media comments then, including some from as far back as 2020 that had promoted violent imagery, and asked Greene if she was saying she disavowed such statements. Greene noted that she had addressed those posts in the past and stood by her prior assessment.
Greene also said during the same interview that she hoped her relationship with President Trump could still be repaired.

‘That’s Fair Criticism’: Marjorie Taylor Greene Apologizes For Her Role In ‘Toxic Politics’

'That's Fair Criticism': Marjorie Taylor Greene Apologizes For Her Role In 'Toxic Politics'

Dana Bash

President Donald Trump seems to be workshopping new nicknames for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), following his Friday announcement that he would support a primary challenge against the former ally.
Over the last month or so, Greene has publicly attacked Trump for supposedly being &#8220;America Last&#8221; and spending too much time tending to global matters. She&#8217;s also claimed the president has made missteps when it comes to documents concerning late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In a post published Saturday, Trump referred to MTG as a &#8220;traitor.&#8221; &#8220;Marjorie &#8216;Traitor&#8217; Green[e] is a disgrace to our GREAT REPUBLICAN PARTY!&#8221; he wrote.

In a previous post, Trump called MTG a &#8220;lightweight&#8221; and tried out the nickname &#8220;Marjorie Taylor Brown.&#8221;
&#8220;Lightweight Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Brown (Green grass turns Brown when it begins to ROT!), betrayed the entire Republican Party when she turned Left, performed poorly on the pathetic View, and became the RINO that we all know she always was,&#8221; the president wrote. &#8220;Just another Fake politician, no different than Rand Paul Jr. (Thomas Massie), who got caught being a full fledged Republican In Name Only (RINO)! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!&#8221;

In Trump&#8217;s Friday post, he referred to Greene as &#8220;&#8216;wacky&#8217; Marjorie&#8221; and a &#8220;ranting Lunatic&#8221; who turned on him publicly after he stopped taking most of her calls and sent her a poll showing how poorly she&#8217;d fare if she were to run for the Senate or to be Georgia&#8217;s governor.
As for Greene, she claims the fallout is because she&#8217;s remained &#8220;America First&#8221; and the president has not. She also claimed on Saturday that she&#8217;s being victimized by Trump, comparing the fear she feels to female victims of Epstein.
&#8220;I am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world,&#8221; MTG said. &#8220;The man I supported and helped get elected.&#8221;
&#8220;Aggressive rhetoric attacking me has historically led to death threats and multiple convictions of men who were radicalized by the same type rhetoric being directed at me right now,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;This time by the President of the United States.&#8221;
&#8220;As a woman I take threats from men seriously,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I now have a small understanding of the fear and pressure the women, who are victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his cabal, must feel. As a Republican, who overwhelmingly votes for President Trump&#8217;s bills and agenda, his aggression against me which also fuels the venomous nature of his radical internet trolls (many of whom are paid), this is completely shocking to everyone.&#8221;
&#8220;My phone is blowing up with constant amazing support. I’m so thankful!&#8221; Greene added. &#8220;The Political Industrial Complex and the toxic violent nature of American politics must end. Our country is worth saving and it can only be done if we pull together and save ourselves.&#8221;

Trump Floats New Nicknames For Marjorie Taylor Greene Amid Fallout

Executive

President Donald Trump says he&#8217;s done supporting GOP Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA) and Thomas Massie (KY), and will give his endorsement to those who would offer primary challenges to his former allies.
Trump took to Truth Social on Friday night to tear into both Greene and Massie &#8212; serving up particular ire for Greene, who was a strong supporter of Trump before launching numerous criticisms at the president over the last month or so.
<div id="attachment_1001215" style="width: 821px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1001215" class="wp-image-1001215 size-large" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/11/GettyImages-2203349120-811x576.jpg" alt="" width="811" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/11/GettyImages-2203349120-811x576.jpg 811w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/11/GettyImages-2203349120-300x213.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/11/GettyImages-2203349120-768x545.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/11/GettyImages-2203349120.jpg 1024w" sizes=" (max-width: 811px) 100vw, 811px" />Kayla Bartkowski/Getty Images</div>
In his post on Greene, Trump suggested the congresswoman started to publicly criticize him after he sent her a poll showing she&#8217;d fare poorly if she made a run for the Senate or governorship in Georgia, adding that she&#8217;s also upset that he doesn&#8217;t have time to return her phone calls anymore.
&#8220;It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn’t have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn’t about to get!),&#8221; POTUS said. &#8220;She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day.&#8221;
&#8220;She has gone Far Left, even doing &#8216;The View,&#8217; with their Low IQ Republican hating Anchors,&#8221; Trump added. Greene notably trashed Republicans and criticized Trump&#8217;s agenda during her recent appearance on &#8220;The View,&#8221; earning some praise from the liberal anti-Trump co-hosts.
&#8220;I understand that wonderful, Conservative people are thinking about primarying Marjorie in her District of Georgia, that they too are fed up with her and her antics and, if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support,&#8221; the president added.

Greene has recently <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/10/17/mtg-republicans-trump-america-first">accused</a> Trump of being &#8220;America Last&#8221; for meeting with foreign leaders and has routinely criticized Republican leadership. She&#8217;s also suggested Trump has made missteps concerning the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein documents.
Before Trump posted his comments on Greene to Truth Social, he criticized Greene&#8217;s complaints about him going overseas.
&#8220;She&#8217;s lost a wonderful conservative reputation,&#8221; the president told the press. &#8220;She says, &#8216;Don&#8217;t go overseas?&#8217; If I didn&#8217;t, we may be in a war right now with China!&#8221;
&#8220;Something happened to her over the last period of a month or two,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I think her constituents aren&#8217;t gonna be happy. Already, I have people calling me, they want to challenge her in her district in Georgia. That&#8217;s too bad.&#8221;

Greene responded on X, suggesting Trump is trying to keep information about Epstein from the public and is no longer &#8220;America First.&#8221;
&#8220;Of course he’s coming after me hard to make an example to scare all the other Republicans before next week&#8217;s vote to release the Epstein files,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It’s astonishing really how hard he’s fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out that he actually goes to this level.&#8221;
&#8220;But really most Americans wish he would fight this hard to help the forgotten men and women of America who are fed up with foreign wars and foreign causes, are going broke trying to feed their families, and are losing hope of ever achieving the American dream,&#8221; MTG added.
&#8220;I don’t worship or serve Donald Trump,&#8221; Greene wrote. &#8220;I worship God, Jesus is my savior, and I serve my district GA14 and the American people. &#8230; For me, I remain America First and America Only!!!&#8221;

The president also unleashed on Massie, with whom he&#8217;s had a more volatile relationship. However, in 2022, Trump endorsed Massie and called him a “Conservative Warrior” and “first-rate Defender of the Constitution.&#8221;
&#8220;Did Thomas Massie, sometimes referred to as Rand Paul Jr., because of the fact that he always votes against the Republican Party, get married already???&#8221; Trump posted to Truth Social. &#8220;Boy, that was quick!&#8221;
Massie&#8217;s wife of over 35 years died in June 2024. Sixteen months after her passing, Massie married Carolyn Grace Moffa, 36, a former agriculture policy staffer for Senator Rand Paul.
&#8220;No wonder the Polls have him at less than an 8% chance of winning the Election,&#8221; Trump wrote. &#8220;Anyway, have a great life Thomas and (?). His wife will soon find out that she’s stuck with a LOSER!&#8221;

Trump Goes Nuclear On Two Former Allies, Says He’ll Back Primary Challengers

Republican Primary

Victims of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein said Wednesday they plan to release their own client list after the Justice Department in July announced it found no evidence of one.
At a rally on Capitol Hill, Epstein victim Lisa Phillips said she and other survivors of Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell plan to release a list of those involved in the abuse.
“Epstein was not just a serial predator; he was an international human trafficker,” Phillips said. “And many around him knew this, many participated, and many profited, and yet, he was protected. I know what it’s like to be trafficked to others, and I know the files contain the names of powerful men who have been shielded because of their fame or fortune.”
“And let me announce now, several of us Epstein survivors have been discussing creating our own list of names,” she added to the cheers of the crowd. “We know the names. Many of us were abused by them. Now together as survivors, we will confidentially compile the names we all know were regularly in the Epstein world, and it will be done by survivors and for survivors.”
After the rally, the Epstein victims and their supporters joined some Republican and Democratic lawmakers for a press conference just outside the Capitol Building. Reps. Ro Khanna (D-CA), Thomas Massie (R-KY), and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) spoke, calling on the federal government to release more information on the Epstein investigation.
“[The] Washington establishment is asking the American public to believe something that is not believable,” Massie said. “They’re asking you to believe that two individuals created hundreds of victims and they acted alone and that the DOJ has no idea of who else might have been involved that nobody else did anything that rose to a criminal enterprise. The American people know that’s not true.”
The DOJ said that it did not find evidence that Epstein had a client list or that powerful co-conspirators were involved in his child sex crimes. The DOJ also noted that the evidence showed that Epstein committed suicide in his jail cell in August 2019. President Donald Trump has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-says-epstein-story-is-kept-alive-by-pretty-bad-people-including-fake-news">blasted</a> those focusing on the Epstein files, arguing that the issue is being pushed by the “Fake News” and “success-starved Dems.”
During the press conference, Epstein accuser Jena-Lisa Jones said, “I remembered crying the entire way home, thinking about how I couldn’t ever tell anyone about what actually happened in that house. This guy was so rich and had so many pictures with so many famous people and no one would have ever believed me if I told them.” Jones told <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/02/us/jeffrey-epstein-survivors-interview">CNN</a> that she met Epstein when she was just 14, and that he was her first sexual experience.
The Republican-led House Oversight Committee <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republican-led-oversight-committee-drops-massive-trove-of-over-33000-epstein-docs?author=Tim+Pearce&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Republican-Led+Oversight+Committee+Drops+Massive+Trove+Of+Over+33%2C000+Epstein+Docs">released</a> more than 33,000 pages of Epstein documents, but critics blasted the heavily redacted document trove.
“What people are waking up and discovering right now is — the folks who stayed up all night to go through the 34,000 individual pages have found that they’re so redacted as to be useless,” Massie said.
Khanna said during the press conference that less than 1% of the Epstein files had been released.
“A nation that allows rich and powerful men to traffic and abuse young girls without consequence is a nation that has lost its moral and spiritual core,” he said.
Wednesday’s rally and press conference was the largest gathering of Epstein’s accusers since a 2019 court hearing following the sex abuser’s death, The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/09/03/house-epstein-files-victims-news-conference/#link-QMGSRWQ7GJFM3F6G2WVO222RZE">reported</a>. House lawmakers met with Epstein victims on Tuesday to discuss releasing more documents.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), who supports a limited release of Epstein documents, praised the Tuesday document dump, saying, “There’s 33,000 documents that were released because of this administration. When we met with victims yesterday, they said that they don’t want their personal information to be out there, and they actually asked us to not put it out there, so obviously that was information that was withheld from that document release.”
Massie also <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/thomas-massie-epstein-files-discharge-petition-house-vote/">filed</a> a discharge petition on Tuesday in an attempt to force a House vote on releasing the Epstein files. The discharge petition must receive 218 votes, a majority of the House, to move a vote forward.
Khanna believes that all House Democrats would sign the petition, and is hopeful that at least six Republicans would also sign. Massie said he is two Republicans away from passing the discharge petition, along with Massie and Greene, Reps. Nancy Mace of South Carolina and Lauren Boebert of Colorado are the only Republicans to sign the petition.

‘We Know The Names’: Epstein Victims Say They Will Release Their Own Client List

Democrats

Trump Administration

House Republicans say there is &#8220;a misunderstanding&#8221; about the failed vote on Tuesday that Democrats linked to demanding the Department of Justice compile and release files regarding Jeffrey Epstein.
Democrats <a href="https://x.com/nicholaswu12/status/1945161060954062859" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pledged</a> to revive an Epstein disclosure amendment from Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) that was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-republicans-block-democrat-push-to-release-epstein-files" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shot down</a> Monday in the House Rules Committee after he sought to merge his measure with an unrelated crypto bill — if a procedural floor vote went their way. But it <a href="https://x.com/jamiedupree/status/1945185474164793543" target="_blank" rel="noopener">did not succeed</a>.
While the result has been widely cast as the House Republicans uniting to prevent the release of the Epstein files, some GOP members pushed back on that narrative.
&#8220;I gotta correct something real quick,&#8221; Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) <a href="https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1945205224232112334" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a &#8220;Benny Show&#8221; interview. &#8220;It&#8217;s being reported that House Republicans unanimously voted to block the release of the Epstein files, and I want to straighten out the record right now. That is not true. If I could vote &#8230; to release the Epstein files, guys, you would have my vote. I would vote &#8216;yes.'&#8221;
Greene spoke about the mechanics of what happened.
&#8220;It was a procedural vote. And we have these all the time. It&#8217;s called a &#8216;PQ.&#8217; It&#8217;s voting on the previous question,&#8221; Greene said. &#8220;If the Democrats had won the previous question, which I know sounds insane — it&#8217;s one of these crazy rules in the House that are hard to understand — that means they would control the House floor.&#8221;
The congresswoman then contended that if Democrats had gotten their way, it could have paved the way to all sorts of votes beyond the Epstein issue.
&#8220;And that means they could bring up anything,&#8221; Greene said. &#8220;They could bring up impeachment articles against President Trump. They could bring up a whole package of insane Democrat agenda items and force votes on the House floor on these things. That&#8217;s what we voted against. We never allow Democrats to have control of the House floor because we control the House floor. So, it&#8217;s a misunderstanding that I just wanted to straighten that out.&#8221;
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) <a href="https://x.com/RepLuna/status/1945223846585622659" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued</a> a similar explanation in a post on X.
&#8220;The House GOP conference as a whole did not vote to block the release of the Epstein files,&#8221; Luna said. &#8220;There was a procedural vote that, if failed, would have given Democrats control of the House. If you pull up the &#8216;previous question&#8217; language you will not find anything re: Epstein. Liars never cease to disgust me.&#8221;
In response, Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) <a href="https://x.com/RepMcGovern/status/1945261045808832954" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> Luna was not entirely correct.
&#8220;Respectfully, [Luna], this is not accurate. If you pull up the &#8216;previous question&#8217; language in tomorrow’s congressional record you will find the following, which you voted against,&#8221; McGovern said, sharing a screenshot of text on the Epstein files amendment.
Khanna&#8217;s amendment did get the support of a single Republican — Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) — in the House Rules Committee, but the rest of the Republicans voted &#8220;nay&#8221; and it was defeated.
The California Democrat later <a href="https://x.com/RoKhanna/status/1945142704091906495" target="_blank" rel="noopener">clarified</a> that his measure pertaining to Epstein, a wealthy financier and convicted sex offender who was found dead at the age of 66 in his New York City jail cell in 2019 after being arrested on sex trafficking charges involving young girls, would &#8220;of course protect&#8221; the identity of any victims.
President Donald Trump has expressed support for Attorney General Pam Bondi and seemed to dismiss the uproar within the “Make America Great Again” movement after the Department of Justice claimed it had no evidence that Epstein had a client list, blackmailed powerful people, or was murdered.
&#8220;One year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the ‘HOTTEST’ Country anywhere in the World. Let’s keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about,&#8221; Trump said on Truth Social.
Still, there are many people who remain skeptical that the Department of Justice is being completely forthcoming.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) <a href="https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1945181783567319432" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a separate &#8220;Benny Show&#8221; interview on Tuesday that he supports &#8220;transparency&#8221; with regard to the Epstein issue and called on Bondi to be more forthcoming to inform the American public what happened after she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/shes-great-trump-backs-bondi-wants-top-officials-to-end-conflict-over-epstein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hinted</a> earlier this year that major bombshells were about to be revealed that never materialized.
