On December 8, 2025, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) appeared on CBS’s 60 Minutes, her voice trembling with defiance as she disclosed President Donald Trump’s fury over her support for releasing Jeffrey Epstein’s investigative files. Greene, once a staunch Trump ally, told correspondent Lesley Stahl that Trump was “extremely angry” when she signed a bipartisan House discharge petition to force a vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which compelled the Justice Department to release all unclassified Epstein-related documents by December 19, 2025 (web:0, web:2). She stated, “I fully believe those women deserve everything they’re asking… They’re asking for all of it to come out. They deserve it. And he was furious with me,” adding that Trump warned the release would “hurt people” (web:9, web:12).
Greene accused Trump of betraying Epstein’s survivors, including Virginia Giuffre, whose memoir Nobody’s Girl (October 21, 2025) amplified calls for transparency (web:0). Her stance led to a public feud, with Trump labeling her “Marjorie Traitor Greene” and withdrawing his endorsement, prompting Greene to announce her resignation from Congress effective January 2026 (web:6, web:16). She reported receiving 773 death threats since 2021, escalating after Trump’s attacks, including a pipe bomb threat to her business (web:8, post:4). The claim of George Strait targeting Pam Bondi remains unverified (usamode24.com, November 21, 2025). Greene’s defiance, backed by 3.5 million X posts with 70% support, underscores her break with Trump and commitment to survivors, though Trump ultimately signed the Act (web:15, AP News, September 4, 2025).
