US President Donald Trump has announced on Truth Social that he is withdrawing support for Representative Marjorie Taylor‑Greene amid escalating tensions within the Republican Party over the release of Jeffrey Epstein documents.
Dispute in Trump’s Camp Over Epstein Files
The status of Jeffrey Epstein’s case is creating a rift in the MAGA camp. A group of influential Republican congresswomen, including Marjorie Taylor‑Greene and Lauren Boebert, are demanding the release of all documents related to the entrepreneur. On Saturday, Trump announced on Truth Social that he was withdrawing his support for Marjorie Taylor‑Greene.
“Stuck” Marjorie: Trump’s Critique
Trump remarked that despite his record achievements, the sole complaint centered on a “stuck” Marjorie. He accused the congresswoman of turning against him because he suggested she should not pursue a senatorial or gubernatorial candidacy amid low poll support. Trump wrote, “She said to many people that she is mad because I no longer call her, yet with 219 congressmen and congresswomen, 53 U.S. senators, 24 cabinet members, nearly 200 states, and also normal life, I cannot answer angry lunatic phone calls every day.”
Congressional Push for Full Disclosure
The House of Representatives is set to decide on the release of Epstein documents. Next week it will vote on the Transparency Act, which would require the disclosure of all classified documents related to the investigation of the billionaire charged with sexual crimes. Republicans from the House Oversight Committee recently released over 20,000 pages of Epstein emails in which the financier boasted of holding compromising photographs of Donald Trump.
Epstein Emails Name Trump
In the emails, Epstein referred to the then‑president as “dirty Donald” and described his visits to Trump’s home. The White House maintains that the emails do not prove any wrongdoing by the U.S. leader. Trump’s spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, accused Democrats of mounting a political attack. Epstein was convicted of sexual crimes in 2008, served 13 months in prison, faced additional charges in 2019, died in jail, and allegedly committed suicide.
