Marjorie Taylor Greene Says Trump Was ‘Furious’ with Her Over Epstein Files in Tense Phone Call

Marjorie Taylor Greene says former President Donald Trump was not happy with her — in fact, he was “furious” — after she pushed for the release of more government files connected to Jeffrey Epstein, the late convicted sex offender.

In a preview of her upcoming 60 Minutes interview with journalist Leslie Stahl, the Georgia Republican described a heated phone call with Trump, 79. The interview marks Greene’s first national sit-down since she announced that she plans to resign from Congress in January.

“We talked about the Epstein files, and he was extremely angry that I signed the discharge petition to release them,” Greene, 51, said. The petition, brought in the U.S. House, aimed to force the government to make all documents tied to Epstein publicly available.

Despite opposing the move earlier, Trump eventually signed the bill after it sped through both the House and Senate. The legislation requires the Justice Department to release all documents related to Epstein — including materials linked to the investigation into his 2019 death in federal custody — within 30 days, according to the Associated Press.

“I fully believe those women deserve everything they’re asking for,” Greene told Stahl, referencing Epstein’s victims. “They want all of it revealed. They deserve it. And he was furious with me.”

When Stahl pressed her on what exactly Trump said, Greene hesitated before responding: “He said that it was going to hurt people.”

Greene has represented Georgia’s 14th congressional district since January 2021 and has long been one of Trump’s strongest allies. But their relationship has splintered in recent months, with Greene publicly breaking from him on several issues — including his earlier resistance to releasing the Epstein files.

In November, Trump declared that Greene had “lost her way” and pulled his endorsement. He even labeled her a “traitor,” a day after she claimed private security firms had warned her about escalating threats supposedly “fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world.”

Greene announced on Nov. 21 that she plans to resign from Congress effective Jan. 5, 2026, blasting her treatment by fellow Republicans as “unfair” and “wrong.”

“I have too much self-respect and dignity,” she said in a video message. “I love my family too much to put them through a hateful primary driven by the President we all fought for — only to go on defending him from impeachment after he spent tens of millions trying to destroy me. It’s absurd. It’s unserious.”

“I refuse to be a ‘battered wife,’ hoping it all magically gets better,” she added.
